2016 Explorer sport alternator replacement 1

Diagnose check charging system warning on dash display. Check 10 amp fuse. Check 325 amp fuse. Check voltage while running at battery and at large red alternator wire. When this system receives a fault at PCM it should switch to default and charge at 13.5 volts. If alternator is bad obviously it won’t do this. Three wire connector at alternator are grey/red (10 amp fuse #93 and should light test light with key on), blue/orange (gen com pcm #13 pin), violet (Genmon pcm # 26 pin). I’ll try to upload wire diagram.

Damn nice, Friend! Take the fender liner out at you're looking right at it! Beautiful!

Thank you for posting this! I watched your video and another and was able to swap out an alternator on a 2017 3.5L ecoboost with very few problems!

This was brutal following the Ford directions , which I now know must NOT have been for the turbo model. Going to proceed with your way of taking tensioner out and getting to bottom bolt that way. Ridiculous we’re doing this on less than 5 yr old cars .

Why didn't you record what you did as you did it?

[@dylanchristen1182]

Thanks, its what i thought i had to do. Just wished there was an easier way. 😂

I removed the 2 bolts, the bottom and top one, I removed the sensor, and the ground bolt on the side but it’s still not coming out. How did you do it ? It seems like it’s stuck on the stud on top

[@stuemany]

@@stephanogodoy1573 sounds like it’s a little stuck. Rock it back and forth.

[@mikemcqueen1500]

Did you pull out the old alternator by moving it past the belt tensioner area. I'

[@stuemany]

If I remember correctly, I took it through the top.

[@Domistroit]

Really, is it necesary Disconnect All That You Say?

[@stuemany]

There are some bolts the you can’t get at. Make sure it’s your alternator beforehand. Did you unplug it and check for charge. It goes into default charge when unplugged. Also check your fuses.

[@Domistroit]

@@stuemany I thank you for the information, I hope they have done the diagnosis well at the agency, they assure that the alternator is not working, although my truck only has 60,000 km, it seems very strange to me

[@rrhistorian8828]

At the agency?????

[@stuemany]

Sorry, I didn’t have time.

[@dicelaguns1151]

You literally didn’t explain no process just plainly showed us where you left off at. This was no help

[@stuemany]

Sorry, thought I would add a little info which was to access through the wheel well. I didn’t see any videos before I started the job. Good luck.
