What will make a new alternator go bad 3 times in a row. Could it possibly be putting the pulley on the alternator

considering regulator is in that alternator unlike most Fords? or wiring short and where? No burnt wires have been found. Can anyone help? Thanks

  Give more info. How often replaced. New or rebuilt alternator. I had one go out because of coolant / antifreeze slowly dripping onto. There may be other causes like dead shorts. Regulator problems, etc.

  Don't believe it is dead shorts. Has been replaced 3 times. All new alternators without pulley. Going to get a new alternator with a new pulley. Was told the pulley is a big deal. Hopefully that works.

  If the headlights flash, replace it with a new alternator.

  Make sure you fully recharge your batter--auto part store will do for free. Then new alternator will not go bad.
