The alternator in a car may need to be replaced if some simple signs are noticed. A noise may originate from under the hood, or lights in or on the car may dim or flash.

Do you have to remove the serpentine belt before removing the alternator?

No vehicle is specified, however, in all vehicles I have seen and/or worked on, the serpentine belt must be removed from the pulley that spins the alternator. NOTE: Some vehicles have another, separate, serpentine style belt that runs the a/c compressor and may have to be removed to remove the belt running the alternator. (Complete removal is not necessary unless the belt needs to be replaced.)


Why does 1994 Ford Taurus loses connection when trying to start and the battery and starter has been replaced?

This can be due to loose or corroded cables and or connections , and did the car start even at least once after the battery and starter was replaced? If it did you probably need a new alternator or if your handy enough you have the choice of rebuilding the alternator. Many stores offer free alternator testing , I my self have a 96 Taurus and i have had many problems over the years and now I'm at the point where my alternator is bad and i will soon be rebuilding it. If it is none of these issues then there is some thing more serious wrong in which case it needs to go to a mechanic who can determine and fix the issue.

Will battery recharge after bad alernator is replaced?

An alternator is designed to keep a fully charged battery at peak level. It is not designed to charge a dead battery. Installing a new alternator on a car with a dead battery can in some cases ruin the new alternator. Fully charge the dead battery before starting the engine.
