If You are wondering why the alternator is not charging on the Ford Transit, I can help give some solutions. One of the most common reasons for an alternator not charging can be caused by a failed battery. Sometimes when we have a battery for a long time and it's given its best life, it can stop working. This is when the battery does not hold a charge and makes us think it can be the alternator. It would be a good idea to have the battery tested to rule out the alternator. Other reasons for an alternator not holding a charge are loose bolts on the alternator and damaged wiring on the alternator. Either way, take the vehicle to a mechanic so they can better inspect it.

The cause of the battery light could be a loose or corroded battery cable or other wire connecting components of the charging system, or it might be a problem with the alternator or voltage regulator.
