I did some part time mechanical work for a car dealer a couple of years ago.
I ran into this on the Focus and Tempos.
This might not be YOUR problem cause but the alternators and wiring plug to the alternator.
The car dealer preferred used parts and I quickly noticed a lot of bad plugs on the alternator on cars in the junk yards on those models.
IT's a thought...

How can you tell a bad plug from good?

Most of them had signs of overheating or cracking.
Specifically, the entire dash went dead. Not just lights - but entire dash (analog gauges and all). Radio acted up first (I shut it off).
Today, the car was DEAD (no idea yesterday as I was home sick). Jumped it. When hooked to other car before jump, dash worked. After start, dash was dead. Got an appointment at Gasoline on Wed but may have to go somewhere else sooner.
