I'm on my 4th alternator in a year 2007 focus....fuckin sick of this piece of shit vehicle

@@theguy2856 my focus ate up 3 alternators within 6 months as well. I did have a stereo sound system installed but it still shouldn’t have caused this much trouble to the alternators. I’m unsure of the root cause for failure.

Keep an eye on your bike if you leave it stored up for a while. I now have petrol in my oil. Do NOT purchase petrol with ethanol, it will eat through the rubber o-rings in the carbs and it will dump your petrol tank into your sump.

Only 3 comments. The negative of the battery should be removed FIRST. You need light when on the bottom. The 9/32" is also a 7mm. Thanks for showing me what i am up against tmo.

@Ibirtch Жыл бұрын

I’m not sure of the reasoning, on this particular bike it was a 17mm

@Apollo949 Жыл бұрын

I did an oil and filter change this very day and it required a 22mm socket, NOT the 17mm socket you suggested. Any reason for that? 2:0

What was the little sensor called ? The one u said has small sensitive wires? Thanks

@Ibirtch Жыл бұрын

It’s actually not a sensor, it’s a capacitor, used for voltage regulation. I think I did call it a sensor in the video.

I purchased the kindle version but it didn't come with the wiring diagram, I've searched everywhere for a clear diagram with the ICM wiring and haven't found anything. Do you perhaps have this? I'm rewiring my bike, and purchased the kindle version, but as stated they didn't include the wiring diagram which is the most needed part of the manual for me.

Hi Brody, sorry for the delay in getting back to you, just checking this now. I can definitely send you some scans of the wiring diagrams, I can do this on the weekend. Send me an email, [email protected]

Mounting the alternator the bottom mounting bolt went in kind of in a slant now it's hitting top off the alternator whole where it slides in now I can't get it to go in or come out

@Ibirtch 3 жыл бұрын

The bottom bolt might be jammed, I never came across this problem, but I'd try taking a wrench or ratchet and turning the bolt to the left, sometimes the threads will catch and help push itself out, if no luck then it might need some persuaion with a hammer. Hope you get it fixed, sorry it's not the easiest to help without seeing it.

This job sucks. You don’t have to remove engine mounts or anything. Comes out the top. Good to remove plastics and wheel to get at bottom alternator bolts.

@Ibirtch 3 жыл бұрын

Interesting, I was unable to do that due to the heat shield on the exhaust manifold being in the way, and the heat shield bolts were rusted in place due to this being an Ontario car.

Thank you for making this excellent video!! About 4 years ago, my alternator went bad on my 2006 focus and it was a pain in the ass trying to get it out! At that time I did not remove the bolt holding the engine mount! Even though I was still able to get the alternator out from the top, this time I will remove the motor mount bolt and put the new alternator in. This will be my 3rd time replacing this damn thing!! I guess Ford focuses may be between 2005 and 2007 had bad alternators and they did not last long at all!! By the way, I removed the heat shield to allow more room to removed from the top. Anyway, thank you so much for this new information! I will subscribe to your channel right now!!!😊👍

@Ibirtch 3 жыл бұрын

That sounds awesome, I did not remove the exhaust heat shield, as the bolts holding it in were seized, I found the engine mount easier to remove to get a few extra inches of room!
