There are 2 recalls that have been issued on your model and year vehicle, none related to the alternator. Go to this site and review the recalled parts and make sure your vehicle has been repaired and is safe. Good luck!

And the problem or question is?

These kind of lights, have been on vehicles for 30 years

Have the code pulled and diagnose and repair SRS System Malfunction

If the alternator is what is going out,look at the alternator wiring,the large wire goes to the battery,it is hot all the time,do not remove it,just add a wire as large,or larger to it,and runit to the positive battery post,this will keep the alternator from working so hard to charge.

Which bulbs are you refering to?
Headlights? I went with Sylvania SilverStar H4 bulbs. I was really impressed with the brightness. The bad news... I seem to have to replace them more often; like, 1 or 2 per year.

Another alternative is to upgrade to the 2005-2006 headlamp assemblies. Rumor says they will fit. They use a different bulb.

That sounds very familiar. Our 2005 Ford Escape just had about the same problem to the tune of a $2800 repair. Computer failure caused two iginition coils to fail and had to drive over the Continenetal Divide on 4 cylinders. The vehicle is only 5 years old. Happened about 3 weeks ago. Ford said there is no recall. I have a big problem with that.. Where is the "quality" they are trying to sell?

Loosen the belt by loosing a tensioner bolt on the alternator. Disconnect the battery and cables from the alternator. Replace with new alternator and hook up the power cables to it. Then reconnect the battery and you're done. Mike. Rate 100% please.

IF IT IS NOT A RECALL YOU WILL BE STUCK PAYING FOR IT. SORRY TO HERE OF YOUR ESCAPE PROBLEM BUT DO CONTACT FORD AND TELL THEM HAY YOU FEEL AND WHAT YOU THINK NEVER KNOW?
