Would a 2005 Ford Focus alternator work on my car listed above? Both engines are 2.5L.

I am seeing the Focus with a 2.0L/ 2.3L NOT a 2.5L.

.
This is how I check swap-able parts.

Go to an online auto parts store NAPA/ Advance Auto Parts/ Rockauto/ Auto zone/ Etc.

Look up the part for one of the cars by submitting the correct prompts (usually it's done in "Add a Car/ Vehicle")

When you find the part (there may be several ones in a list)

Take notes on the part numbers and the brand names. (Several for each car).

Now look up the other car the same way.

If you get the same brand and part number for both vehicles, the parts are probably interchangeable.

Let us know how it goes.
