I have a 06 350 6.0 single alternator truck, The truck is completely stock. The battery light came on the other day and I figured the alternator had crapped out so I took it off and had it tested. Tested good so I put it back on. Then noticed that the charging system would work if I applied pressure to the small plug. So I took the connector apart and cleaned up the terminals and no change? Tried another alternator anyway just for the hell of it and same result. Screwed around with it a bit more today and had the idea that putting the bare leads from the plug on the terminals might shed some light. Well it worked, for about three minutes then the light was back on and it was making no V. moving the terminals around got it to make 12.6 but not the 14 it should be making.
Any insight would really help...Thanks in advance.
