If you're wondering why the alternator isn't charging in your Ford Transit, I can offer some solutions to help. A common reason for this issue is a worn-out battery. Over time, batteries can lose their ability to hold a charge, leading us to mistakenly suspect the alternator. To rule out the alternator as the problem, it's advisable to have the battery tested. Loose bolts or damaged wiring on the alternator could also be causing the issue. In any case, it's best to have a mechanic inspect the vehicle to get a more accurate diagnosis.
The reason why the battery light is on may be due to a battery cable or wire being loose or corroded that connects parts of the charging system. It could also be caused by an issue with either the alternator or voltage regulator.
