Go to ford owners.Com register then download your owners manual go to roadside emergencies and your fuse box diagrams are in there with the values also other important information about your car you can keep the manual on your phone or computer and print what you need

Dirty connection on plug to fuel rail pressure sensor

Try charging the battery and start the car then disconnect both battery cables and see if the engine keeps running if not alternators got bad rectifiers if it stays running check the fuse link also check the alternator voltage coming out it should be 14.4 or so and use 0000 steel wool to clean connectors at the battery and the ground on the block and any ground straps from the engine to the frame and the connections at the starter and one more thing no vehicle given so check belt tightness if a regular belt 1/4" play if you have a belt tensioner that is adjustable same thing 1/4" play if it's an automatic tensioner stand in front and watch it as someone races the engine if it's moving back N forth and I mean flopping around its bad it should only slightly move when rpms go up not move a lot this means the belt is slipping and not turning the alternator and as you keep driving eventually the battery goes dead post back to me in comments with all checks and progress you're making so we can rule out things done ok good luck and please rate my answer when you can I'm a taxi mechanic with 50 years experience so that's where your info is coming from oh yeah 1 more thing the condition of the belt and pulleys make sure nothing is leaking on to the belt/pulleys and the belt is in good shape also check the pulley grooves for build up of debris grease or belt material this will cause a slipping belt and rpm loss at the alternator so you have some investigations to do and keep a list of everything you did this w a y your not standing saying I think so/or did I do this you must have a positive confirmation of your work done so I can help you also make model and year would be a big help so do these things and I'll look for you tomorrow I'm doing a heater core on a crown victoria and I have to put it back together it goes back out on the street at 4am for the day shift and a another chariot driver in nyc.so later man

Hi Yes, its the typical indication of turbo gone.

What relay's an fuse's ? open and close circuit test to the bulb connectors ??????? Voltage testing with a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter ! B+voltage going into the multifunction switch ? Fuse F2.59 7.5 amp located in the central junction box . Green with red trace goes to mulitifunction switch (high beam ) pin #6 , Pin#7 multifunction switch green with yellow trace goes to control (energize ) High beam relay . Control side high beam relay grounds at G103 ! High beam relay located in the battery junction box . Do you know how to test for B+ voltage ? Forget this open and close circuit test . Voltage drop testing is the correct way to test a electrical circuit , the circuit has to be energized . Do you know what a wiring diagram is ? Did you view a wiring to know what you were testing ? If know ,you can't say you have a compleat circuit. Free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info ,under system click on lighting ,then under subsystem click on Head lamps . Click the search button then the blue link . Using a volt meter test . Basic Electricity for Service Techs Ohm law Current Flow Opens Shorts Electric Testing Techniques You Need to Know The high beam relay is c1050 ,thats the only one you need !

I would first check your battery terminals and your starter connection after that I would check the ignition relay
