Hello. I just replace the alternator on our 2001 Focus with 70K on the odometer. The job took about an hour. However, before you replace yours, check the continuity through the electrical plug connection at the alternator. This is a weak point of the Focus and can cause the alternator to not charge the battery properly. If the plug checks good, you must replace the entire alternator (as of 12-20-06, the part costs about $165 for a rebuilt unit in South Carolina). Here are the steps: Remove the positive battery cable. Unplug the wires from the alternator and slide them from the plastic support bracket. Connect a short extension onto a 3/8" ratchet and slide the end of the extension into the square hole on the belt tensioner. Rotate the ratchet handle so as to remove the tension from the belt. Slip the belt from the alternator only. Remove the two bolts from the front of the alternator and one nut from the underside of the alternator. Hint- To ease removal of the alternator, remove the electric fan housing from its mount by pushing on the two top tabs with your fingers. Lift up on the fan housing and slide it out of its lower supports. The housing can then be moved several inches out of the way to allow the alternator to be easily removed. Install the new alternator in the reverse order.
