CHARGING SYSTEM 07 FORD TAURUS Sign In

MY 2007 FORD TAURUS SE REQUIRED A NEW ALTERNATOR RECENTLY. AFTER CHANGING THE UNIT, MY CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM ADVISOR STILL COMES ON A FEW MINUTES AFTER I START THE CAR. I WENT SO FAR AS TO RETURN THE UNIT AND REPLACED IT WITH A NEW UNIT. THE BATTERY IS ALSO A BRAND NEW UNIT AND I HAVE TAKEN IT SEVERAL PLACES TO HAVE THE SYSTEM CHECKED. ALL COMPONENTS ARE CONFIRMED GOOD BUT THE CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT/BUZZER STILL ACTIVATES. DOES THIS VEHICLE REQUIRE ANY FURTHER EQUIPMENT REPAIR OR "TROUBLE CODE" RESETS? ANY INSIGHT WOULD BE HELPFUL AND GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Your checking the alternator out of the car and that tells you nothing about the rest of the circuit. You need to test the charging (battery) voltage in the car at idle with not accessories on.
