Thank you so much for posting this its exactly what I needed to know how to reach down there by feel and check the area while not having access to a lift, but if confirmed the repair is gonna be a nightmare
Gave it a go two times, checked the wiring from the top of hood looking down, seems to check out, but ran into problems disconnecting the electrical plug so tight in there I can’t even position a small flat screw to pop it off like many suggested on the internet and I also tried by hand pinched till pain, I was hoping to pop it off to check the small terminals condition and also to see where the f does it come from.. it seems to be routed under a flimsy plastic cover (for oil spills probably?) right underneath the oil filter for 2013 5.0 model. Its so nasty there is no way I can follow up or see properly there unfortunately. I was hoping it would be where yours is but apparently routing is different. I might be totally mistaken too. Thank you for the tip I can’t believe it didn’t come to my mind, that would change a lot of things
Took it to a shop after spending a lot of time looking at wires, turned out the wiring inside the alternator is burned to ash, shop said the rectifier is burned so I had to replace the alternator.
Thank you for posting, I have a SERVICE CHARGING SYSTEM light on. My truck is a 2019 F150 5.0 V-8 with 135K on it. I will report back once I get it figured out.
You didn't report back lol...My 2017 raptor is in the shop right now for this reason. Engine code P065B...they're replacing the pigtail to the alternator tomorrow.
@@jk13459 Sorry about that, in my case it was an issue with my travel trailer being connected to the 7-pin trailer plug. When a trailer is connected to the 7-pin circuit the truck charging system also charges the battery on the trailer. If you leave any 12V accessories in the trailer "On" while plugged into the truck it messes with the charging circuit causing the fault. In my case, I had left the AC in the camper on while towing it. that is a dual voltage system, 12 V for the camper HVAC thermostat and 120V for the AC compressor. Leaving it on caused the truck's charging system to try and run the camper AC. I shut the AC in the camper off and the problem went away.

Im glad you found this video! And as far as the repair goes, jack up that front end as far as you can! You should be able to get to that sucker.

Did you get it figured out yet? What exactly was your 2013 5.0 doing?
