On top of the engine there is a serpentine belt (5 grooves). The tension is autmatically set by the belt tensioner. It is an arm with a pulley on the end of it. The other end has a 3/8 inch connector for a ratchet. Put a ratchet on the end of it and pull it towards you. This should relieve the tension enough to take the belt off the pulleys.
unplug electrical connectors. remove drive belt. remove alternator mounting bolts and remove alternator. installation is reverse.
you might want to try and change belt pully tensioner
I'm not a mechanic but I just had to have the belt tensioner replaced on my 99 ZX2. There are no other adjustments.
Replace the tensioner pulley
My 97 has pre tensioners. I see no reason for the 99 to not have it. Do you mean the seat belt has an automatic retracton? If so, the answer is yes.
Your serpentine belt is broke
Until your arms get tired...
You will need to remove the inside door panel of your 1999 Ford Escort. Loosen the retaining clips on the window. Remove the window from the window track. Reverse the process to install the new window.
Yes!
I have a 99 Ford Escort SE and mine burned out also, my husband removed the cover at the shifter and there was a screw underneath that will remove and allow you to get down in there and replace the bulb. hope it helps
Remove the drivers side wheel. Remove the inner cover. Taking an Allen wrench and tighten the tension roller against the belt.
No, A 91 to a 96 transmission will fit a 94 Escort.
