Charge System Fault at 320 miles

[topdawg4ever]

Received a Charge System Fault via my Ford Pass on my new Dark Horse with 320 miles. Also noticed battery indicator stays on while driving the car.
Any suggestions or thoughts?

Charge the battery with an ADM charger. If the car has sat around it could be low. Maybe get a load test to rule it out.

Not sure specifically what a ADM charger is and how it works with my Dark Horse.

If the battery fault indicator is on when the engine is running, then the alternator is not charging.

Let's hope it is something simple.

Sorry Typo AGM battery charger. You can also check by scrolling through the info stuff on the main disply. Should be around 13.5 v.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

Thank you, but I solved the issue last night. Threw a charger on the battery to rule out a low battery. Notice the cable that plugs in in front of the battery was unpluged. So I plugged that in, and fired up the Dark Horse, and all was good. This is a classic example of the dealer probably jumping the car, after it sat in teh showroom, and forgetting to re-connect that cable.


Appreciate you reaching out!! Nice to see Ford cares!! I can tell you horror stories about Dodge.

Thank you!!
