take it to autozone and take the alternator off in the parking lot and take it in and tell them to bench test it before you take it off go in and ask them to load test your battery because they will need to charge it to there load spec

I have had to change my starter on my 98 Taurus SE three times in last 1 1/2 years. I changed the battery, and the alternator a yr, and a half ago, and seven months later the starter went out again, and this week it did again. Any suggestions? 1 Answer

I have a 2004 Ford Taurus (automatic transmission) which has sat idle for the last couple of years with some occaisional startings, but not driven. Battery was dead and we recharged and moved the car around to start getting it road worthy. Found that the gear/transmission handle was extremely hard to shift from park to drive and reverse. Took great effort to shift into any of the selections, but it did function over the weekend. Went to start the car up yesterday and car won't turn over. Battery is powering all systems and lights (no dimming of lights/radio interior systems all function), but car won't attempt to start, not even a click from the starter which worked perfectly over the weekend. Could the neutral safety switch have any hand in preventing car from starting. 3 Answers

Car started fine over the weekend, but shifting from park to reverse/Drive/Low were all very stiff.

My friend has a Ford Taurus and it wouldn't crank like it has been. I tried jumping it off, first thought is dead battery. But it does absolutely nothing. Is this a starter or alternator issue??
