Just had a NEW alternator professionally installed in my 2000 Ford Explorer XLT 6 cylinder 4.0 OHC. The battery does not receive a charge. I shorted out the old alternator with a direct short to ground. Now there is no voltage coming from the new alternator to the battery.

probably failed have tested

Hope this helps

Bank two are the even cylinders. Follow exhaust manifold on the side. You will find an O2 sensor just after or on the manifold, before the catalytic converter. Then, look after the catalytic and you should find another O2 sensor, this is the one you mention in your post.

Is the car holding a charge?. Check the Alternator. IF the alternator is not charging the battery will not keep the car running

You probably have a problem with the charging system. The alternator is a likely cause.

Yep. Sounds like you have a bad alternator.

I don't have a link with pictures, but I will describe the cylinder and coil numbers for both the overhead valve (OHV) and the overhead cam (OHC) as best I can.
Facing the engine from the front bumper.
On the 3.0 overhead valve (OHV) the cylinder location looks like this:
1 2 3
4 5 6

The coil location looks like this:
5 1
6 2
4 3

If you have the 3.0 overhead camshaft (OHC) engine again facing the engine from the front bumper your cylinder location looks like this:

1 2 3
4 5 6

Your coil location looks like this:

4 6 5
3 2 1

I hope this was helpful.

Check your rear end to see if you have a sensor like in this video, if so it could solve some issues. The video describes items all going out around the same time. Its based on a 2 wheel drive but who knows you might have the same sensor in the same location. This is a shot in the dark, but who knows it might help or point you in the right direction.

change your battery cables and check all wires on the alternator for loose connections, expecially the grounds.
