found out that the alternator is for a
96 grand marquis. So I was wondering
could I put like a 05 grand marquis

I checked the part numbers on www.tascaparts.com on the 03 and the 05 and they are NOT the same. Not sure what the difference is but I don't think it will work correctly. A genuine Ford / Mercury rebuilt alternator from Tasca is $111.00 plus shipping.
Somewhere in those years they started controlling the alternator's voltage regulator via the ECU, but not sure which years.
Will a 2006 alternator fit on a 2007 Mercury marquis??
