Where is alternator fuse for 2000 Ford Ranger?

There isn't an alternator fuse in the traditional sense for a 2000 Ford Ranger. The alternator is protected by the alternator's internal regulator and any issues with the charging system are usually diagnosed by checking the alternator itself, the battery cables, the battery, and the wiring connecting them. A blown fuse *in the charging circuit* would be unlikely to be labeled specifically as an "alternator fuse."

If you're having charging problems, you should:

1. Check the battery terminals: Make sure they're clean and tight. Corrosion can cause poor connection and charging issues.

2. Test the battery: Have it tested at an auto parts store to ensure it's holding a charge.

3. Test the alternator: This requires a multimeter and some basic electrical knowledge or a visit to a mechanic.

4. Check fuses related to the charging system: These might be labeled differently (e.g., "ignition," "power," or a specific circuit related to the charging system), not explicitly "alternator fuse". Consult your owner's manual's fuse box diagram to locate potentially relevant fuses.

In short: Don't look for an "alternator fuse". Look for issues with the alternator, battery, and related wiring and fuses within the charging circuit.
