If you checked everything and you still have no charge (>13volts with the engine running) then the ALT is bad. jeff April As long as the conductors are not corroded you can tape them up and you should be OK. Any corrosion will reduce the capacity of the wire causing heat and the possibility of fire. jeff have you fixed your ford lately?

I did get a bit of respect from the advisor, though; changing the alt. on the ground without a hoist.
