Hi,

As far as the alternator is concerned, it is located toward the bottom front of the engine. See pic 4

Pics one through three are the directions for the removal and replacement of the alternator. Make sure before you start the procedure to disconnect the battery.

Additionally, here is a link you may find helpful. It explains in general how to replace one. It should help guide you through the procedure.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

Dale,

You should be able to access it from under the vehicle. If there is a plastic splash shield, remove that and see if you then have access.

If that doesn't help, take a few pics and upload them for me to see. Hopefully, I will be able to direct you. However, if I remember correctly, it comes out through the bottom.

Let me know.

Joe
