My litghts and electrical componets (air, interior and exterior lights, radio, ect.) Are intermitingly turning dim or off, as I drive my car, and no problems when in idle.
I've replaced the altanator 3 times at the delership with ford certified parts and the problem still happens.

there diagonstic shows that the altanator is the problem? Any help.

If the test says its bad it is bad. Buy a whole new alternator if ford ones dont do it buy a aftermarket one of decent quality.
