Hello,
I am trying to replace the EXTERNAL voltage regulator on an 1989 Ford Taurus. Milage approx. 130,000. Engine size 3.0L (I think).
My problem is that I cannot get enough room to remove the lower bolt that holds it to the car. This is because there is a plastic "cradle" that holds the battery in place, and it is in the way so that tools are rendered useless. I looked this up in the Chilton manual, but I didn't see anything about this process.
Google also did not show any relevant results.
How can I get access to remove and replace the external motorcraft voltage regulator?
I can provide pictures if requested.
Thank you in advance for your help,
