Ford Probe Electrical connector Problem
Trying to replace the alternator. I have it disconnected but I can not get it to go
between the transaxle and the rack and pinion to get it out from the engine. Most info says to remove the
crossmemeber, but I'm not even down to that point.

Are you trying to take it out close to small part of halfshaft? My only problem is I can't see much from here? If steering linkage is in the way, have you tried turning the wheels in or out, to get more room.
