Listers :
I installed an alternator a few years ago. Iâ??ve had very few if any problems
until I needed to upgrade the unit.
In the past year I have gone through two internal regulators. I have had it
rebuilt by a knowledgeable mechanic. With the last rebuild the internal
regulator installed did not need the wire that has gone to the old voltage
regulator mounted on the fire wall. Iâ??ve been told the purpose of that wire
is now internal within the new regulator.
The old voltage regulator has been striped of parts and is now just
â??decoration.â?? It seems logical that if the internal bits can 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.
As you can tell, my knowledge of alternators is very limited. I hope that
someone out there can reassure me that itâ??s okay to remove the wire or
guidance on what to do next. I am waiting to start the car until Iâ??m
comfortable with the way the alternator is wired.
Thank you for any thoughts you have.
