hey thanks,i will try those ideas,got behind on some other stuff so gotta get caught up.i am thinkin is pcm too--to many weird things going on to be just one circuit shorted.hey i,ve got the pcm location right behind glove box door but think it comes out through engine compartment.appears have to ta...

hey steve i am in a real bind!!!! if ya could give me some direction one more time--i would sure be thankfull---as stated i dis-connected the those 2 relays in the trunk 002 and 004 and the lower harness in the front kick panel ----needed the rack back--hooked everything back up and the instrument c...

well hope you had a great turkey day!!!! made a little progress on this buggy.with the following this dis-connected,current draw stops.TRUNK RELAY SSP 002- SSP004 now in the front pass kick panel we have 2 harness that are plugged in via 10 mill bolt--the lower of those 2 is dis-connected.now i also...

the pcm??? is that located in the passenger side?? did,nt get it up on the rack till 3 today,we dis-conneted the alt----still has a draw, gonna un-plug pcm in the morning as well as the FEEL TEST.still willing to shovel crap in exchange for workin on this lincoln!!! hey thanks for the help!! i will ...

hate to ask but gonna do it anyway ( stupid question of the day!!!!) as stated we replace the alt---took the old one to have it checked,it passed----even though it passed can it still have a short??? is that possible?? reason i ask is at idle voltage is about 13.7 ( still will kick on charging light...

i am going to take your advice and dis-connet alt output/input wires to put my mind at ease to see what happens,we just replaced alt/battery and the results were the same. in the first post i complain about the windows sometimes work--others not. there is a module in that drivers door--not sure what...

thanks--no add on,s have all fuses/relays removed--just missed that 175 amp one while having the current draw (under hood/r kick panel/trunk. know what ur thinkin!! lol.good luck,huh? possible any of bcm,pcm,ecm being un-fused??

my only issue with that is as i hopefully explained correctly is yes the wire that feeds the 175 amp fuse--once connected does appear to have a short--- ( pulls about 7.5 amps) now the other wire goes directly to the battery it has a 6 inch jumper wire that feeds that rear fuse panel and when i hook...

The power distribution shows one. 175 is a biggee but I've seen plenty of big fuses blown. Just did a 125 on a Tundra. Weird job and just a few items were inoperative. You'd think that with the main fuse blown, almost nothing would work. These big fuses are hard to tell if they're blown by looking ...

Yes, we are aware of the 3 locations of fuses and relays. As for the plug on alt--looked nice when i changed it, very clean, no corrosion on pwr wire. However I do agree with the possibility of a BCM or PCM. As we all know these type of issues take time to find, we are just working it in between ot...

Hello and welcome to the forum. First this post should probably be put into the "Repair" section. Now as far as the car goes I've seen altentor on ford products that short out internally. A symptom of that is the altentor will feel warm to the touch when the car is cold. Also you can hook up you MM...

Hello everyone, hope all is well. Need a huge favor from some of you pro Ford/Jag techs. Have a customer with a 2001 Linc. LS 3.9L complaining of a current draw, an excessive one at that!!!! Charge light comes on while driving,and will run battery down over night.alt and battery has been replaced an...
