Can anyone do me a favor and take a picture up close of their Ford OEM battery? My connections are loose because I think I'm missing a bolt or nut and I believe that's prompting a check charging system light and draining all my accessories. I just took the car out of storage after a few months and did have the battery on a trickle charger but the charging system is not right thus far. Barely made it to work, the voltage meter was extremely low. Alternator is brand new.

Thanks in advance.

I'd get you a pic but I'm 600 miles from either of my Stangs.

It's alright I figured out my problem. Idiot me reconnected the terminals and they were loose so I do need new hardware but the main alternator wire was behind the battery and not connected to the positive terminal 'doh.

All good now.

Thanks.

Glad you figured it out! I do not think you can replace the OEM terminal ends on their own, you will likely need to buy the complete cables from Ford.

Yep, thats why you should inspect them often for any signs of corrosion...
