And stop buying parts, you could spend that with someone whom can diagnois the actual problem, like a blown fuel pump fuse or other very simple repair. Work smart then hard.
AnswerYou've missed one component of the electrical system, the ignition module. Ford (Mercury) uses a module on the top of the engine to control spark when starting and running the engine. When this module goes bad, it might fail sporadically, or it might just fail. It is a relatively easy part to replace, but you will nedd to purchase the ignition module tool. Any of the good repair manuals will discuss how to change it.
To replace the alternator on a 2001 Mercury Cougar, start by disconnecting the negative battery cable to ensure safety. Remove any components obstructing access to the alternator, such as the engine cover or air intake. Then, disconnect the wiring harness and the mounting bolts for the alternator. Finally, install the new alternator by reversing the removal steps, ensuring all connections are secure before reconnecting the battery.
The most probable cause is that the voltage regulator has failed. The regulator is an integral part of the alternator so you will probably have to replace it.
To replace the alternator on a 1999 Mercury Tracer, begin by disconnecting the negative battery cable to ensure safety. Remove the serpentine belt by loosening the tensioner pulley, then detach the electrical connectors from the alternator. Unbolt the alternator from its mounting bracket and carefully remove it from the engine bay. Install the new alternator by reversing these steps, ensuring all connections are secure and the belt is properly tensioned before reconnecting the battery.
I have a 2.0 1995 Mercury mystique the battery charge light was on no output on old alternator. Replaced alternator No output from new alternator "charge light out" (wiggle test wires& re-check wires) at alternator *still no output* is there a fuse that could be the problem or just another bad alternator... I would check the alternator plug before getting another alternator, it may be bad. And is a lot cheaper to replace.
get some tools and turn some wrenches it is very easy to replace it. you can easily access it on top left of engine.
To replace the alternator on a 1998 Mercury Mountaineer, first disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety. Remove the serpentine belt by loosening the tensioner, then disconnect the electrical connectors and mounting bolts from the alternator. Install the new alternator by reversing the removal process, ensuring all connections are secure, and reattach the serpentine belt. Finally, reconnect the battery terminal and start the engine to verify proper operation.
You need to remove the serpentine belt and alternator in order to get the crank sensor; one 10mm bolt holds it. It is easy to replace.
Common hand tools, sockets and wrenches. Nothing special.

On a 1996 Mercury Villager, the alternator is located on the front of the engine, typically on the driver's side. It is mounted near the top and can be accessed from the engine bay. To replace or service it, you may need to remove the serpentine belt and possibly other components for better access.
