2005 Ford Mustang Alternator

If you don't notice your alternator working at all, it's a good sign that it's working well. But when your 2005 Ford Mustang's alternator puts off a burning smell, your battery dies often when you're in your car, or you see the lights getting dim and flickering, it's time to do something about it. Left uncorrected, you'll eventually find yourself broken down and looking for a boost or emergency repair. But there's no need to put it off with parts from AutoZone available quickly, and from brands you trust like Duralast.

Driven by the serpentine belt, the alternator makes millions of rotations in its lifespan. Commonly, you'll get in the neighborhood of 80,000 to 150,000 miles before it needs to be changed. The job can be completed by a DIYer with common tools, but what's most important is selecting the right part. The alternator for your 2005 Ford Mustang is likely to be a 135-amp output, but the rotation, mounting, and electrical connection design matters. Luckily, we make it easy to choose the right fit every time.
