Mondeo battery light comes on at high revs.

This is caused by a faulty alternator. I had the same problem on my Mk2 V6.

Apparently the alternator has 2 sections and one failed. It was charging OK at low speeds/revs but the light was flickering and then stayed on as speed/revs went up.

Only solution - new alternator (or as in my case - one from a scrap dealer). Pig of a job to change on V6 model as it has to be done from underneath the car.

My Mk2 V6 started to do this at high Revs, then worked it's way down the rev range. The car started and ran as normal until one day the light came on as I was just doing about 20mph in the high street. I stopped the engine, then tried to start it again but the battery was flat. I needed a new altenator which sorted it out. Been fine for over a year now.
