questions: does the starter connect to the alternator directly in any way?
i just replaced my alternator and battery, but the guy who did it didnt use
the same wire that was connected to the alternator and batt: is was fried.
So I bought a new wire, he ran is from the alternator to the batt, and put
everything back together and still wont start. I was wondering if you knew
if the alternator is wired to the starter as well. 2000 Ford Focus SE DOHC
Thank you for pointing this out. I know it is a Ford Focus. I also have a
Ford Escort too. Thanks for being so kind to point this out. I have
annotated the video to clarify.
Thank you so much. Did my first starter yesterday. No wonder it costs so
much to do this shit. LOL. And you are definitely right, I had to Tetris
that thing out the bottom past the exhaust. At first I did not think it was
ever coming out of there. But it eventually did. All I had was jack stands
and a cheap jack that came with the car. My step daughter is so lucky I did
this for her. My left arm is so scratched up. Anyway, thanks again. Very
helpful as I watched your video as I did the job.
Well….I did say it was an Escort a few times……but the car is a Ford
Focus. Thank you for being kind enough to point this out. I think most
people would realize that I am working on a Focus.

Yes….the positive wire from the battery travels down to the starter and
then branches off the starter terminal to the alternator.
