we gota 1991 ford econoline e150 with the electrical problem from hell.about 10 months ago,the van kept popping fuses and turning off electrical stuff,starting with interior lights,then radio,then blinkers,and finally taillights. we put a new alternator in,and the van stranded us with a dead battery.then we changed the voltage regulator and it seemed to fix the problem for a while
now,over the past month,we've gone through,no exaggeration,about 11 batteries.at first,if we let it sit for a week or so it wouldnt start-dead battery.then it started getting worse....couple of days,then overnight,then couple of hours,and then last night it died while i was driving. we just kept swapping batteries
so today we took it to a shop and they told us it was either the alternator or the voltage regulator. we took it to autozone and they tested the alternator and they told us it was bad and we got a new one.then on the way home it died again-dead battery.the regulator is less than a year old.
help!
