the alternator will be on the end of the engine that has the drive belts or serpentine belts, alternators are belt driven.
AnswerAt the front of the engine will be a few components that have pulleys with a belts around them. Only one component will NOT have hoses going to it, but only wires. This is it.On my 98 mystique, it was located behind the motor on the passenger side. Just be careful when replacing it though, and probably change the alternator plug as well. My new alternator blew out the old plug. Had to have the car towed twice in 2 days!
