what causes a 94 F150 to discharge amps when headlights are turned on and then the check engine lights comes on

Asked by Alexdog8 May 23, 2015 at 11:52 AM about the 1994 Ford F-150 XL 4WD SB

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The amp hand drops real low when the headlights are turned on. Then after a few minutes the check engine light comes on. The radio, ac, and dome light together do not affect the amps. Only the headlights.

check ground cable. your headlights are run directly off of battery while other devices are run off alternator,

I have a 2000 F150 Extended Cab 4.2L V-6. On the drivers side firewall is a cylinder and out of the bottom are two vacuum lines. One of them comes from the bottom of a black fluid refill reservoir and runs to under the throttle body. It has collapsed and is making the truck run rough. Is that part of the Smog System? It's on the firewall, almost sitting on the top left of the brake booster and in front of the clutch refill reservoir. any ideas what vacuum line that is? Thanks. 2 Answers
