Ford Alternators

The alternator is located near your vehicle’s engine. It uses the mechanical power from the engine’s rotation and converts it to electrical energy. It works like a generator and supplies electricity to the battery to power lights and other electronic fixtures. Without a working alternator, your vehicle can only go as far as your battery takes you. Once your battery is drained, you would have to use a different power source to charge it. Draining your battery can also shorten its life.

Is Replacing an Alternator a Big Job?

Replacing a defective alternator is either easy or difficult depending on your specific model. For older Ford models, the consensus is that it can take between 10 to 30 minutes to replace an alternator. This is because alternators in older models are easy to locate and access. For newer models, it can be difficult to access an alternator located deep inside the engine compartment. Thus, in this case, it can take a few hours.
