What light was flashing?

Need a LOT more info than what you're supplying.

Your new remanufactured alternator is probably bad, or you misdiagnosed the issue as being related to the alternator to begin with.

Only new Motorcraft alternators should be used unless you don’t mind installing/removing bad reman units.
