2000 Ford Focus Alternator Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the alternator on 2000 Ford Focus?

  A: The first step to servicing an alternator requires users to guard the generator from contamination with lint-free material to avoid pre-mature failure. The service process starts with dropping the vehicle down while removing the accessory drive belt followed by taking out the fuel pressure sensor. First detach the coolant expansion tank from its retaining clip while removing the retaining bolt and safely place it on one side. First detach the power steering reservoir and keep it safe to one side. First disconnect and detach the engine wiring harness toward the side and separate the ground cable. Take out the evaporative emission canister purge valve while securing it properly aside and disconnect its vacuum lines before removing the evaporative emission canister vacuum line. To begin the engine maintenance process disconnect the cylinder head temperature (CHT) sensor electrical connector together with the ground cable before you remove the engine lifting eye. Use a marker to note down the engine mounting position then unfasten the front engine mounting retainers. Move the engine towards the front part of the car before reinstalling the rear retaining bolt to stop engine movement. The generator electrical connectors receive disconnection first before removing the protective cap (if present) and the generator retaining bolt until the bracket remains fully detached. Conclude the operation by taking out the generator together with its supporting bolt. Users should begin the installation by extending the generator locking sleeves and execute the removal steps in reverse order.
