Why is the voltage regulator overcharging the battery in a 1990 Ford econoline?
A bad voltage regulator can cause an overcharging condition. Check the wires going to the regulator for corrosion and make sure the regulator has a good ground.
Where is the location of the voltage regulator on a 2008 dodge ram 1500 truck?
The voltage regulator for the alternator is in the computer. If the voltage regulator in the computer does not work, you can add an external voltage regulator and then your battery will charge normally. Make sure to check the ground on the computer. If the ground is bad on the computer, then the computer will not regulate the voltage to the alternator properly.
Where is the Nissan 200sx voltage regulator located?
The voltage regulator is attachd to the alternator. It bolts on the alternator itself. If you ever replace the alternator, dont make the same mistake I did and not remove the voltage regulator because they are not sold as a whole unit..
Is a potentiometer and voltage regulator the same thing?
No. A potentiometer is a variable resistor that allows you to set a voltage ratio or to adjust a resistance in a circuit. A voltage regulator, on the other hand, is a device that responds to changes in load, making automatic correction of output voltage. If you increase the load on a potentiometer, the output voltage will change, but not so (within limits) for a voltage regulator. However, you can use a potentiometer in a voltage regulator to make the output adjustable.
Where is the voltage regulator located on a 3800 V6 engine?
What make? What year? If it's a carbureted engine, the voltage regulator is likely integrated into the alternator (some are serviceable, some are not). If the engine is fuel injected, the engine's computer usually serves as the voltage regulator.
What is the purpose of an amperite regulator?
The purpose of an amperite regulator is to make sure that circuits do not get overloaded. It is a voltage regulator that maintains an electrical system, especially in a vehicle.
Will a voltage regulator make the motor shut down on a 2000 roadking?
no it will only make the battery not charge
What causes over voltage in a car battery?
A bad voltage regulator in the alternator. Depending on year make and model it may be outside or separate from the alternator.
What would make my battery go dead after replacing it and the alternator?
The vehicle should ave a voltage regulator. If the battery and alternator are good then the regulator is most likely bad.
How do you hook up a ford internal voltage regulator?
To get to an internal voltage regulator first disconnect the battery ground ( negative cable ) then remove the alternator. Make sure you mark the cables on the alternator so you can put them back exactly where they are supposed to go. The voltage regulator is inside the alternator and you will have to take it apart. I'm not sure how the regulator is mounted in your alternator, it might have small studs with nuts on them, or small screws or bolts, or it may be soldered in. In the latter case you will have to cut out the voltage regulator and solder in the new one. If you are going to take out the alternator anyway you should probably take it to a parts store where they will test it for free and tell you if you need a whole new alternator or just the voltage regulator.
What would cause the voltage gauge to keep flickering up and down?
Either a bad ground to the guage itself or a bad voltage regulator in the alternator. While the enigine is running check the voltage at the battery it should be around 13.5volts if it constantly fluctuates then the voltage regulator is probably bad. Replace the alternator. Otherwise make sure your grounds are good.
How do you increase output voltage of a alternator?
The voltage output is controlled by the voltage regulator. Check to see if you are getting a DC field voltage. On the voltage regulator there are terminals to different pieces of equipment on the machine. Look for the terminals that are designated F1 and F2. These should have a DC voltage on them. Also look for a potentiometer that controls the field voltage. Turn it one way and the voltage will go down and turned the other way the voltage will go up. Make sure that this potentiometer is in the correct position to allow voltage to the field coils.
