Alternator Issue? Pulsating Lights
My 2002 Ranger Edge 3.0L has pulsating lights... I have read a few others have had this issue as well...
Symptoms: no alternator light on, battery charges just fine, the gauge is in the normal area, the radio is unaffected, but all the lights, dome, head/fog, dash, and the air bag off light all pulsate.
I picked up a used alternator from the junkyard. 95 amp unit, (all the explorer ones were MIA), This one is doing the exact thing the old one was doing.
I figured the old one was dying as it had that issue and some wonderful person did a rad flush with the prestone crap kit directly above the alternator and when they put the hose mender adapter back on it was leaking onto the alternator.
Could I have just gotten TWO bad alternators? Or is there something else in the system that can be causing this....
