Unless the belt is loose there is no relationship between the overheating and the alternator. Purge the air out of the radiator - check You tube.

Check the belt routing,may be turning the water pump backwards.

Hi--I just got my alternator changed today on my 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport LS AWD, the D (drive) indicator does not light up when I shift to the drive position? All the rest do light up (R, N, 3, 2 & L)??? Also, ever since I bought the car I have not been able to use the horn, I noticed the horn fuse was missing, but when I put the fuse in, the horn beeps continuously??? Any suggestions are appreciated, God bless! Tony 7 Answers
