Flashing Battery Light & "Check Charging System" Msg @ High Revs
Folks, I need some advice on what I can check. When climbing a hill or under hard acceleration where I get the revs up above about 3.3K; I will get a warning tone + battery light + the "Check Charging System" message. This combination will flash on so briefly, that I can barely read the Msg, but will continue until the revs drops below 3K.
Haven't tried to replicate the problem while stationary.
Suggested starting points? The vehicle is an 03 Expy EB 5.4
Thanks.

Had to go and look for it, but I knew I wrote up a DIY post about this: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ery-light.html

I know this is an old thread but similar issue here. I had a coolant hose blow out and saturated everything. It blew out directly at the altenator. Fixed the hose filled up the collant and parked it. The next morning my wife says that the battery light came on, and it was acting like it wanted to die. It wouldnt start so I jumped it and it starts fine now. when the rpms go up the volt meter in the dash goes all the way up abs light comes on heat and radio turn on and off. When rpms drop everything goes back to normal. Could all the coolant shooting into the altenator have messed it up? It seems to be charging fine its just spiking. Any suggestions??
