Re: Changing alternator on '98 Windstar, pulley come with alternator?

I bought a new one from Advance Auto Parts.
It came with pulley in place.

On my '96 (other years may be different) there is a alternator fuse in the engine compartment fuse / relay box (aka power distribution box).
It is fuse 'T'
If it is blown, the alternator will NOT work.

Also, if your battery is old / weak, I would change it.
A weak battery will be a stress on your new alternator....and will shorten its life.
I have the AutoZone Duralast "Gold", which is powerful at a good price.
