Maybe it's located under the engine mount.

I'd be taking it to a local electrical shop to rebuild.

tribute alts are located just above the axel and mazda warrenty only pays i wanna say .9hr for it but it might be 1.9 its been a while since i had to do one. ower coast on reman alts for the tribute is 285 here plus 2.5hours labor. looks like someone got taken for a trip down dry dock cave. lol or i can look at it like this,,,,,,,,,, i need to charge more but my ****** boss wont let me.



randy

warranty pays 2.1 and mazda list is 489.20... reman. dealer cost is 295

hmmmmmmmmm i wonder why that we only get paid the way we do, then again this shop is scared of the warrenty ppls at mazda.

as long as you follow their rules, theres nothing to be scared of. pete's a nice guy even

My mazda6 is ford, honestly besides not getting anywhere near the fuel economy advertised its has never been to the dealer besides some bullshit with the brakes when it had 3000 miles on it.

But...its....a mazda? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif
