What causes the battery to go dead in a 1993 Mercury Cougar when it is parked the alternator seems to be working fine could it be a relay?
An alternator can charge normally but can still drain a battery if the diode(s) are defective. Try this: remove the(red) positive cable from the back of the alternator and then touch it to the post that you removed it from. Remember, this is hot so don't touch it to anything else. If it sparks this indicates the alternator is pulling current, and is bad.

Fuse alternator 1995 mercury mystique?
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.
The alternator and battery checked out fine but the battery light stays on. What could it be?
Probably loose drivebelt. or alternator belt of it is seperate.

How do you remove the alternator from the long upper mount bolt after the nut is removed on a 2002 Cougar V six?
The upper mount STUD, after you remove the 15 mm nut, can be unscrewed with a 6 millimeter socket. You could just leave the STUD, loosely, in the alternator hole; then, lower the alternator to take it out. If there is a BOLT in the upper mount, you could fully loosen the BOLT, leave it in the alternator hole, and lower the alternator. In the lowered position, disconnect the wires from the alternator, and (after disconnecting the end of the tie rod), work the alternator out of the the car. No other disconnections of suspension parts, or drive components, are necessary. There is more detail on removing the alternator at WikiAnswer: "How to remove alternator from a 2002 Mercury Cougar 2.5 V6."

There is no problem...the problem was the alternator. You have fixed the problem.
Why would the alternator in your 1994 Mitsubishi galant not be charging the battery when it is not defective?
usualy if the alternator is not defective then its the battery. you should start by cleaning the battery post. then you could check the terminal wire that runs from the battery post to the alternator. if thats not it you should check the ground on the alternator.
