Hi, this is my first post. I have a 2014 fiesta st that since about october has had significant charging issues. At first I thought bad alternator, I've load tested the battery etc. so the basics can be ruled out. the car typically charges 12.6 volts with the alt sensor wire connected. when its disconnected (bypassing smart charging I guess), the car charges 13.8 no matter the load. I've been doing this to get by but I still frequently have issues and think this may just make the problem
worse. Any pointers are greatly appreciated, I'm shaky with electrical but trying to learn what I can.
also, the issue can be intermittent and rn the car is charging almost 15 volts with alt sensor wire connected.
