Torque PIDs...Take 2

Volts gauge at 13.7 for last couple days. Down from the normal 14.3?

On way from driving range, putt putt, and go karts we had the a/c on as ambient was a sticky 85*(IAT2 109*). With a/c on, light throttle on the e-way at 70 was giving a +3 kr! Turn off a/c and kr was complete opposite going right to -3.5? Can the a/c have that much affect?

Are both of your knock sensor wires routed away from the engine block or otherwise separated?  A/C does put a good electrical load on, may cause vibration as well.

With car off or started?  Idling or Driving?  Accessories on or off?  If during driving, then replacement may be due.  Is the battery still OEM?

Have the driver side wires wrapped and away from block but not passenger side.

13.7 while driving with radio on as only accessory and nothing being charged, well the obdlink.  Battery is a Motorcraft. We bought lightly used and battery has the dealerships name on a piece of masking tape on it. Motorcraft Max

I wouldn't worry about it right now.  If the dealership installed the battery, which it looks like it did, you may also have the 7 year warranty with it.  Keep a pic for future reference, but a good question to ask them also.

Definitely building a list. Trying to convince the worrier(wife), to drop the extended(outrageously priced)warranty as I just don't want to have to duck and dodge having it tuned. I'd rather fix stuff on the run instead of pay for something we might not use.

My personal opinion is that is a terrible idea. Lots of very expensive items to fix on these vehicles. On my ST the first failure cost almost 3x the price of the warranty. That car isnt nearly as advanced as the SHO. Ford has almost 30 recalls right now so I'd consider the likelihood high that you will get your moneys worth.

Appreciate the opinion. With my luck we'd drop the coverage and the front end would fall apart.

Starter+battery+alternator form a circle of life.  If one messes up enough it can kill all 3 in short order so don't skip over a few easy checks now.

How has the weather been?  Alternators will put out less power the hotter they get.  13-14.5v is considered "normal" output for an alternator.  It will vary with temperature, rpm, and load.  Press the start button twice (without foot on the brake) and see what it reads.  12.6 is perfect but since other stuff is running in the car already it probably won't read that.  Start the car with the lights and everything off and see what it reads at idle.  Turn on everything you can think of, lights, ac max cool, hazards, heated seats, rear defroster and check voltage.  Bring the rpm's up a little and check the voltage.

If at any time the voltage drops under the first voltage you saw the alternator isn't doing its job and you are taking power off the battery.  The battery's "only" job is to start the car.  Starter+battery+alternator form a circle of life.  If one messes up enough it can kill all 3 in short order so don't skip over a few easy checks now.

After letting it sit for almost 2 days must have changed its attitude, lol. Suspecting the woman sitting with accessories on for extended period at her monthly class for work. She says no, but it was a weird no...lol
Steady 14.3 again.
