2008 Lincoln Navigator Alternator Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the alternator on 2008 Lincoln Navigator?

  A: Disconnection of the battery is the first step to perform alternator servicing and repairs. Users of the Navigator need to start by freeing the two retainers followed by removing the engine cover and then removing the air cleaner intake pipe. A counterclockwise turn of the front end accessory drive (FEAD) belt tensioner enables movement of the accessory drive belt away from its position. The service for the alternator begins by first removing the harness locator from the generator bracket followed by taking out the four bolts which must be tightened to 10 Nm (89 lb-in) upon reinstalling. Remove the generator from its place by dislodging the two bolts then place the generator to the side while making sure the bolts reach 25 Nm (18 lb-ft) torque upon installation. Users should disconnect the generator electrical connector before lifting the generator B+ protective cover off to take out the nut while placing the terminal away from the connector. Fasten the new B+ terminal nut with torque to 8 Nm (71 lb-in). The removal process ends by taking out the generator before conducting the installation by following all steps in reverse order.
