2009 FEH alternator / 12v batt questions

Re: 2009 FEH alternator / 12v batt questions
Just bought one of those 2008 FEH workshop manuals off eBay. Hopefully it'll tell me something about the 2008, which would at least give me a platform to guesstimate what's in the 2009. Except for the engine, doesn't look too much different from the 2008's.

What about the CD version? Looks like the 2009 FEH Service CD is available for $170, same price as the printed workshop manual. Supposedly the one I bought off eBay which is an original Ford DVD, has all the manuals in it.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but is there an easy location in the FEH (2006 here) to tap fairly high power ~12vdc inside the cabin? I'll probably be pulling somewhere around 25A or so.

Well, I found a copy of the Ford service manuals DVD and it is really enlightening. Much of the wiring in these vehicles is much smaller than you would think it should be. My best guess is that the Ford engineers are assuming that most of the "high power" loads will only be used intermittently so they don't need large wiring or connectors.
It looks like the best place to tap in for any sort of real power is at the battery or at the fuse links for the DC/DC converter. The DC/DC converter has a PAIR of 6awg outputs with very large fuses so I guess the rumors of 100A output are true.
