My Car has a wiring problem. We can not seem to see what is causing the problem. We have replaced the ignition swicth. What it is doing is the alternator is making juice but the juice does not make it to the Battery? So there for it is not charging. We have replaced 4 alternator and now it is not actually burning them out. It just is notv working properly. Have you ever heard of alternator problems with a lincon? I now there maybe a 500 dollar relay to but i have no idea which one it is. I am very frustrated anything will help. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

The alternator plug is a high failure item with fords. You can buy a new one for a few dollars and wire it in. that may fix your problem.

Suggested Repair

Replace the alternator connector plug, a known high-failure item on Fords, and wire in a new plug.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1995 Lincoln Continental reports that the alternator produces power but it does not reach the battery, so the system does not charge. The ignition switch and four alternators have already been replaced. The expert says the alternator plug commonly fails on Fords and recommends installing a new plug.
