let the car run and then pull the negative battery cable off. if the car stalls, the alternator is bad! do you know where the bank 1 o2 sensor 2 is?
i need to know where the speed sensor is in my mercury mystique so i can replace it.
Take a continuity tester and check them. you'll find the bad one
A little more information please . What year , four cylinder or V6 , automatic or manual transmission . Then someone can probably answer your question about the coolant system capacity of a Mercury Mystique . Thanks ( also might need to know if it has air conditioning )
If you question the condition of your alternator, drive to your local auto parts store and they will test the charging system for you at no cost.
What you shoulddo is basically just go see a mechanic. That would be your best bet because they will know more than you or me know about cars.
As far as I know thevoltageregulstor is integral to the alternator.
If your battery doesn't hold a charge while running then your alternator is bad
i dont know if you have changed this alternator or not but if you have and the new one quit call me i know the problem mine went out 5 times before i figured it out. 252-814-9267
Any Auto Parts store can provide you with this information.
I have a 1998 Mercury Mystique and just the other day, my starter started to die. I am guessing that your starter is in the same place as mine, which is why you can not find it. Open the hood, and standing on the drivers side of the car, look down on the side of the engine. (through all the hoses.) You will see the solenoid, and then under that is where the starter is. It is a tough job to get to it if you do not know what you are doing.
easy...all you have to do is to remove either one of the battery terminals,while the car is idling...if it dies,then it is not charging
It will not idle at the proper speed (750 RPM).
