I HAVE A 2009 FORD RANGER 4X4 4.0L when im sitting at a light my idle goes from 900rpm to 500rpm and my headlights will dim and then get bright same for my interior lights and my blower motor speed will go up and then down. I just replaced my battery a few months ago, and today I just replaced my alternator. with my meter hooked up it would charge at 14.5 and the motor would bog down and the alternator would whine. and then it would stop charging and sit at 12.6 and then go back up about every 5 seconds. so I assumed it was the alternator. but with the new ford remanufactured alternator it is still doing the exact same thing. I cleaned all engine grounds so now im out of ideas...any info will help thanks!!!
