Consumer Description
1 year ago I started getting the “Charge System Fault” alert on my truck, took to the shop and they advised the battery needed to be replaced. After replacing, a few weeks later it started happening again, so they did further testing and advised the alternator was bad. Replaced the alternator and 6 months later the alert started intermittently again. It has been sporadically ever since when at an idle and doesn’t stay on long enough to have on a reader to reflect what is really wrong. I’ve attached the error from my FordPass app that comes thru once in a while but it’s frequent on the truck dash while it’s running, at idle whether in park or at a stop light. It’s not every time the truck is running, but becoming more frequent again.
