In the past year I have gone through two internal regulators. I
have had it rebuilt by a knowledgeable mechanic. With the last

has gone to the old voltage regulator mounted on the fire wall.
I=E2=80=99ve been told the purpose of that wire is now internal within the

The old voltage regulator has been striped of parts and is now just

do the
job, the old wire is 1 not an asset to the system and 2 could cause
some unexpected issues. Removing it should be a good move.<br><br>
As you can tell, my knowledge of alternators is very limited. I
hope that someone out there can reassure me that it=E2=80=99s okay to
remove the wire or guidance on what to do next. I am waiting to
start the car until I=E2=80=99m comfortable with the way the alternator is
