[QUOTE="Gavin Allan, post: 821410, member: 60736"] We've seen it on several Tauruses and my '03 Trac had the same problem. Charge light comes on at high RPMs. Guy at the rebuilder place said that the brushes/springs get weak and they don't make good contact and then the charging output drops off. Said that by the time you put in the labor to tear it down, you might as well just throw a rebuilt alternator on it with new bearings, etc. [/QUOTE]
