Unplug the connector on the back of the alternator, remove the bolts holding alternator to the mounting bracket.
replace the alternator, start in the bolts, and set the belt on. now use a small pry bar, to hold pressure against the alternator to tighten the belt. while holding belt tight, tighten down the mounting bolts. rehook connector on rear of alternator. if you feel safer, unhook the battery + terminal before you start the replacement.
Testimonial: "it was a very helpful and quick response"
. On the Rodeo and Passport, the voltage regulators are grounded to the Engine Control Module. The Heater/AC blower is also grounded here also, so when the alternator is not charging, the blower doesn't work.
On the right side of this type of alternator, there is a plug connection. The alternator has the "male" terminals, while the "female" terminals are from the vehicles electrical system. One of the "male" terminals, known as the "C" terminal, connects the voltage regulator to the ECM (engine control module). As stated previously, in remanufactured alternators, the voltage regulators appear to be faulty, a problem that has been in exsistence since the 1980's, whereas the voltage regulators do not emit the proper voltage.
While I did get all of the remanufactured alternators from Advance Auto Parts, they obviously to not remanufacture them, so it is not really Advance Auto Parts blame, however I wonder why they continue to sell them, as a recall has been previously issued regarding this problem.
I am confident that if you replace your alternator with a completely new one, not remanufactured, and your problems should cease to exsist! In addition to the above, obviously you should disconnect your battery prior to doing anything, check the tension of your belts(s), and make sure your battery is ok.
I hope this helps you and everyone else with this problem!!!
I do not think you can replace the voltage control alone... But anyway please get the advice of other experts online also.

awesome thanks
I have replaced the battery and checked the belts and fuses. My blower works so i guess you are right it is the problem with the voltage control. is there some way i can just replace the voltage control instead of the whole alternator?
what else could cause the problem? i have checked all the cables to ensure there is no short circuit too
