Check out the diagrams Below Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed. I am able to rock the alternator up and down slightly but am not able to remove it. There are no other bolts that I can see to remove.

I bought the car 3 months a go and suddenly the battery was not recharging. I took the car the auto electrician and he said the alternator "burned", it needs to be replaced.

Do you need help with something? During my drive home from the mechanics my lights on the panel dimmed and the same clicking began when I tried to restart the egine. Was it the alternator after all? Was the battery tested? Was the alt tested before it was replaced? This time we were told that the newly installed alternator was replaced with a faulty so once again they replaced it. So far, so good, but we will see. It tests fine.

The Escape alternator should be far easier to change than that Taurus V6 was. A transversely mounted V6 FWD is a packaging nightmare.

If I remember correctly the service procedure on the Escape tells you to remove the axle to remove the alternator. But if I recall, you can dismount the alternator, lay it on the axle shaft or exhaust pipe, remove the alternator mounting bracket from the engine, pull the bracket out the wheel well, and then you have room to pull the alternator out from the wheel well as well. It appears I may stand corrected. I assumed an inline 4, 2WD.

Sincere thanks and a tip of the hat to asemaster. Both are transverse mounted. Someone told me they would interchange with a few mounts and sensors changed as well. Her father bought it new in I have had the honor of doing all of its maintenance since about two years before his passing. It now has K miles, and has given very little trouble. I just wish I were spending it closer to home.

But u say it was good? How long can you drive a car with a bad alternator? The answer is as long as your battery has power still stored. Skip to content Articles. February 27, Joe Ford. This alternator job is one of those what in the world were they thinking kind of repairs, I am very disappointed with Ford for making what is normally an easy job, into a job from hell, indeed, what were they thinking? That was what motivated me to put up this video, I thought maybe someone else is facing the same situation and is feeling very uncomfortable about messing with CV joints, we all know how expensive they are to replace and if that boot gets damaged the results could be disastrous!

So I say why mess with it when you can change this from the top?
