On the 1997 Mercury Mystique, the alternator is located on the front side of the engine, near the top, typically on the passenger side. It is mounted to the engine block and can be accessed by removing any necessary components, such as the serpentine belt, to facilitate replacement or inspection.
location of relay blower motor 1997 Mercury mystique
on the front of the motor, it will have the sepentine belt around it I am working on my wifes' 1996 mercury mystique and the alternator is located behind the timing belt. If you are standing directly in front of your vehicle the timing belt is located to the left side of the motor and the alternator is located directly behind the timing belt.
No there is not. The only located on the alternator is the voltage regulator.
Begin by removing the belt from your 1999 Mercury Mystique alternator. Remove the wiring harness from the back of the alternator. Remove the alternator retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install your new alternator.
right side of crankshaft pulley
AnswerAt the front of the engine will be a few components that have pulleys with a belts around them. Only one component will NOT have hoses going to it, but only wires. This is it.On my 98 mystique, it was located behind the motor on the passenger side. Just be careful when replacing it though, and probably change the alternator plug as well. My new alternator blew out the old plug. Had to have the car towed twice in 2 days!
It is internal, in the alternator
Inside the alternator
under the left side of the dash , there is a release button to push to open it
on my 1995 4.0 L OHV it is located below the alternator
The regulator for the 1997 Ford Thunderbird is bolted on the back of the alternator. While the regulator can be changed separately it is more commonly changed along with the alternator.
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.
