alternator replacement ?

Good evening,

You have a low voltage from the battery. I would start by charging the battery and see if it starts okay.

How big of a job is it to replace the alternator?

Hi there, I am Danny.

On a scale of 1-10 I would give it a 5. You will need a serpentine belt tool to remove and install belt and a basic set of metric tools. Disconnect battery cable first, then remove belt. The alternator is held on by a few bolts and electrical connections. Attached is a tutorial explaining the process. Hope this helps and feel free to ask any questions if you feel like tackling this!

Need to know exactly what tools and sizes i need to replace my alternator?

I attached the process to replace the alternator. Unfortunately, they don't list tools needed so this is going to be something that you have to try to find out what you need. However, from what I remember, you can do this job with a basic set of wrenches and sockets.

Sorry I can't give more detail about the tools.

How do I get to and remove the alternator on my V6 2004 Ford Escape?

Not sure of litre size of engine? You may have to access generator from passenger side wheel well. Safely raise and support the vehicle, remove tire, remove splash lining.

You need to take battery connections loose.

how do you remove the alternator from a 2003 ford escape.

you have to take the cv axle out and remove it through that opening

After changing the alternator and the pig tails clipped because I broke it it I rewired a new pig tail clip and the altenator charged the battery. After 2 weeks the alternator stop charging but still no charg where is the short than where is the short thank you

recheck your wiring job first if it wasn't soldered together with shrink tube then re do it like that. then check the fuses in pic you probably blew a fuse for it.

Then why do battery light come on when I touch the green and red wire to the body of the alternator

because the battery light is the charge indicator light and it means you aren't charging your battery

removal of the alternator where is the halfshaft

4 cylinder or 6 cylinder.?

My guess is v6 and the right cv axle shaft is called a half shaft. It requires complete removal to replace the alternator. and needs a new axle nut torqued to roughly 200 lb/ft if I remember .. something that most 1/2 drive torque wrenches (common biggest size for sale in most tool places such as Sears) don't go up to.

What is the best way to remove the alternator?

have to remove axle first..use 18" extension with 13 mm socket. use same setup for removing top alternator bolt. extension fits between exhaust hanger and frame. remove plastic shield behind axle (2 clips and hooked onto steering rack) and alternator bracket to engine (3 bolts). the alternator must be twisted a few ways to fit between the crank pulley, block and frame but it will fit without having to remove exhaust. will take around 2 hours for the job

Alternator light comes for a few minutes when engine is cold then goes out. How do I remove the existing alternator?

My brand new battery (Motorcraft) died after having it in my car for all of 2 days. My husband removed the aternator, took it and the replacement alternator to a car part place to have them checked. The one he removed was bad and the other was good so he replaced it. Next day after making sure the battery was fully charged I drove the car. All the while the battery light was on. Another day later the batter has been drained to empty. Is there a possibility there is something else that is keeping the alternator from doing it's job?

I would try a different alt. Also, there is a fuseable link between the bat and the alt. That sounds like the problem to me but I'm not there to check. Have that checked. NOTE: If the alt is good, the fuseable link will cause this because regardless of the alt's ability to charge to battery, it can't get power to it.
