Belt Tensioner Wear

June, 2000



Ford TSB 98-23-14
1995-1997 F Superduty
1995-1998 Econoline F250/HD/F350

Premature wear of the belt tensioner may occur on some vehicles. This may be due to engine torsional input to the Front Engine Accessory Drive (FEAD) system causing excessive tensioner arm movement.

Call for more details and proper fix.

Alternator charges but light stays on. Check the plug into the regulator at the "S" wire (black and white). It does not make a complete circuit to the regulator (wire broken in side plug).
