Literally one of the easiest alternators to replace! 👍😊

[@POINTDEXTADANERD]

THANKS MAN I ORDER PARTS FROM YOU GUY'S ALL THE TIME. LEARN A LOT FROM YOUR VIDEO !!!!!

[@AnniePasquinelli]

Thank you so much! This worked great! The only thing you didn't mention in the video was the plastic cover that blocks access to the engine. You need a small (1/2 in) rachet to remove it. Otherwise all great! My mom and I replaced ours in less than a half an hour! Thanks again!

[@Vatozulu]

Always detailed, simple instructions. Much appreciated... Will knock this out and save about 500 dollars. Thank you

GREAT VIDEO !!!! i just did this repair earlier today based off this video information !! 2 THUMBS UP GUYS !!!! saved me about $70 !!!

[@1AAuto]

You may want to check the motor mounts to see if one of them could be bad. Hope this helps you out.

[@1AAuto]

@prieto108 You may want to try to charge the battery. If you have plenty of power the starter solenoid may be bad.

[@VegitoBlackk]

wow, i now feel like i can do this on my own instead of getting hassled by some Auto Center for a rediculous amount of money! Thank You

[@Cuarta-T-USA]

This video made it very easy to install new alternator and serpentine belt. Thank you

[@Bigfootcaughtoncamera]

@kennethbrown29 Thank you for visiting out auto repair channel. HAVE A GREAT DAY!

[@1AAuto]

If you get a check engine light, pull the code and see what it points to. You may want to have the alternator tested to see if it is working correctly. It's not uncommon to get a bad rebuilt, it can happen. We carry brand new alternators for many vehicles on our website 1aauto.com 888-844-3393 all of our parts include FREE SHIPPING in the lower 48 states.

[@1AAuto]

The AMPS and the way it mounts might be different.

[@skillz321407]

This was amazing. The shop tried to charge a young lady $110 just to do this. I looked at and in my head i said that looks wayyy to simple and BOOM 💣💥💣💥💣💥 Easy does it.

Thanks very much - well done, easy to follow even for me!

[@seshrogenn]

Thanks for a good video. Wish me luck, tomorrow I’m going to try and replace the alternator on a 2001 town car.

[@1AAuto]

+Amber Parma Thanks for commenting and watching! Good luck!

[@deleted....2000]

I appreciate it man you helped again

[@altpath]

@prieto108, that has happened to me. Usually it's because of a weak connection of the ground cable on the battery. If you can wiggle or pull off the terminal with your hand, it's not tight enough and the car will only click. Tighten it and it'll work.

[@Cryptocracy_Now]

BTW you don't have to take the belt all the way off if you don't want to. You can just pull it off the alternator pulley and let it rest in place.

[@1AAuto]

+Charles Cass We appreciate the feedback. Sometimes there are multiple ways to accomplish the same repair.

[@josephmonaco4503]

Good video. Very efficient, but, my 1999 tensioner is a 1/2 drive socket. Of course, I don't have one anymore, so my son is coming up after work to install it for me. Thank you sir again.....

[@dareal4723]

very informative video thanks... i have a question too... my hood release cable is broken on the exact same car do you have a video of that kind of repair...

[@1AAuto]

We currently do not have an auto repair video on that particular repair. Well keep this request in mind in the event that we need to make this repair in the future. 1aauto.com

[@AJ0975]

Great video, I followed your instrunctions on replacing my alternator in my 1998 towncar after i tried cranking it up the engine shook real hard what could be the cause of this.

[@delphwilson372]

Good job but there was no guidance on how to disconnect the wire harness (3:43 to 3:54). The instructor’s hand covered the disconnect and there was no verbal guidance. Where does one insert the screwdriver? At what angle? I cracked the plastic on the alternator being removed - fortunately it was being replaced.

[@SuperTdot74]

Is this the same for a 03 towncar?

[@SilverStateFamily]

How many amps should my alternator replacement should be..on a 2001 towncar

[@AlamoCityCello]

[@Dirge861]

I have a 2007 Lincoln Town Car Designer serirs and I wanted to know what is the standanrd amp for the alternator and if I could purchase a app that has different amp power. I'm looking to purchase a 130 amp and wanting to know will it still work on my Town Car if the town car requires a 95 amp alternator

[@1AAuto]

+Charles LYLES JR. Here is a link to the 135 amp one that we carry for your vehicle. It would be a direct replacment. goo.gl/RgCkAt

[@breal5790]

Will this work on a 2004 Lincoln town car

[@dawudfarrow6994]

Do they make alternator harness extensions

[@1AAuto]

+Dawud Farrow Not to our knowledge. 1aauto.com

[@thekinglinc]

is there any difference between the 97 town cars alternator and the 2000 town car?

[@donaldstrom9081]

Thank yufoorexplainme

[@williamcovington7484]

Followed the video but am getting arcing when attempting to reconnect battery after replacing alternator.. Any suggestions? Have a 2010 Lincoln Town Car.

[@AddableStone13]

William Covington thats normal

[@dumillion23]

also I'm having a battery drainage problem. new battery, new alternator, but it's not charging the battery. do you think it's a fuse

[@princelimousineokc]

Thank you so much

[@MrBadfish702]

great vid ty!

[@crane9476]

How Much You Charge For The Job If The Customer Gets Their Own Alternator?

[@LaDivinaLover]

So what you’re saying is the fact my mechanic charged me $1,600 to replace and install an alternator was Highway fucking robbery and I should never go back to him for literally anything. Gotcha!

[@AJ0975]

i followed the steps but after instllation my engines rumbles alothen my car shuts off but the battery is brand new and so is the alternator.

[@lallian]

👍❤️

[@delphwilson372]

I saved time by removing the serpentine belt from only the alternator pulley; complete removal was not necessary.

[@eieiei30]

thankssssss

[@michaelhargrove8648]

This can't be a 99 Lincoln that you are working on. My setup is slightly different and slightly difficult 😞

[@nothingextra7965]

is 1998 and 2006 has same alternators?

[@1AAuto]

+mad now Here is a link to them alternators that fit a 2006 Lincoln Town Car. Hope this helps you out. goo.gl/q4F4Hx

[@dankozlauskos7076]

[@crane9476]

Dealerships Charger More. Your Paying For A Mechanics Time. Some Cars Are Mad Work For Pennies People Wanna Pay. This Is Way Easier Than Replacing A Wheel Bearing.
