3 hours to repair at the mechanic shop. Had to remove the tires and axles just to get to the part. Ford says to run the A/C on low with the light on. Alternator is over worked causing it to stop working. A TSB from ford says to install a dual fan motor for the A/C might help. Ford need to design a better way to just get to a part without removing axles.

While I was driving, again tje car died on me. The battery was on for just 1 day and I wanted to take it in to have it checked.
We had it towed to the garage and the mechanic called me the same day and said that I would need a new alternator(we already replaced the battery ourselves that day). He put in a new alternator and the car is driving fine again.
