Thank you, that's exactly what I did and all seems to be fine now. Any idea what the brown substance is? I assumed it was some sort of sealant. Is it supposed to be there?

Thanks for everyone's help

So I think this is solved fingers crossed. It was so simple! The diagram helped from @RangerBill thanks. The connection to the actual alternator I was able to turn it a quarter to half a turn but then decided to unscrew it fully as I could feel something at the back which was like a non-sticky...

Thanks I'll try it.

Yeah sorry I mean I drove it around for 40 mins, returned home with engine running and turned everything on, aircon, wipers, lights, windscreen etc, and checked the voltage on the battery which was 11.5v.

Thank you, this is very helpful ?

To be fair I haven't. I'll follow that cable as I'm not sure where it connects. Thanks

Also, I've just done a voltage test on the battery under full load after driving around town for 40 mins and the voltage is now only 11.5 with the engine running! I assume this could be an issue with the alternator or the garage haven't reconnected everything properly as it was fine before it...

Update So I noticed that this bolt circled blue was loose, I am thinking maybe the mechanic could have connected the accessory back to the battery negative instead of grounding it to the chassis ( as mentioned by @RangerBill) as this accessory cable was also damaged but I don't know where it...

Yes the battery in the ranger was a 2021 OEM Ford AGM when the fault occurred. This was after it being in a repair shop. I've replaced it with another brand AGM stop start but fault remains. After airlinetech mentioned the alternator being removed by the mechanic for the oil leak repair I'm...

Thank you I will check all and update

Hi, yes I had it all cleared and did the reset on the BMS. When they did the diagnostic they said they recoded something to the new battery. Not quite sure if that was nonsense or something that would have occurred anyway from resetting the BMS.

I wonder if the mechanic has stuck it there thinking that's where it was originally . The broken black cable I mean . Is it worth removing that then rescanning? When you say connect it to a chassis ground point can you give me an example, I'm very amateur at this as you can probably tell.

Ah yes sorry, I forgot I'd removed that cable before taking the picture but that was reconnected with the new battery and the problem is still present.

Also the alternator seems to be putting out over 14 v with aircon on, lights radio etc on . Drives fine and has started up Everytime with no issues.

After a recent repair for a oil leak on the timing cover and belt change, I drove away and later that night a Red battery symbol (charging system service now) and orange spanner light with check 4x4 issue popped up. Forscan showing code P0562 and B1086 showing. I have put a new battery in and...
