Ford 2G 3G 4G Alternator Troubleshooting Voltage regulator module repair

[@christophertownsend4265]

thanks for sharing your journey. I'm working on a 2005 4.0 Explorer not charging.

[@brandonsilvay4822]

I'm pretty sure you can get one for bigger office but really it's a size of altering not the regulator regulator only convert alternating current into DC current cuz she generates AC current

[@datboydro2267]

Im trying to get mine to work. No luck yet, maybe brushes

[@tomconner9695]

You need a slip ring, might have a faulty 3 pin connector or rectifier, make sure you connect the ground post on the back to a ground

[@tomconner9695]

Theres a test sequence, continuity, diode, ohms, your wiring is obviously fine, i saw the grooves in your slip ring, let us know!

[@precisiont5188]

Is that one place where you bolt a wire to the alternator the positive or negative polarity? Where is the other, minus? The body? Thank you.

[@SpiegNet]

having the opposite problem... overcharging (meter goes to 15-16V and I can smell the wiring getting hot)

[@precisiont5188]

Hi, which tools will I need to replace the voltage regulator? Will I need a torques bit? Thank you.

[@haizi7179]

For my 2001 Focus with a 2.0 Zetec it's 3 bolts with a T20 head.

[@RollingThunder85]

Can these regulators be adjusted or come in a higher voltage

[@tomconner9695]

Brushes roasted your slip ring

[@RollingThunder85]

I'm having the same problem at start up 14.4 after 10 min 13.4 or less

[@beerggls]

Normal

[@RollingThunder85]

@@beerggls ya thats the rectifier heating up if im not mistaken

[@beerggls]

Rolling Thunder ECM adjusting charging voltage based on battery temperature. Of course there's not a battery temperature sending unit, so the computer uses intake air or coolant temperature to control the voltage regulator. A battery charges more efficiently at different voltages depending on how hot or cold the electrolyte within the battery is. A battery is cold when you initially start the engine and therefore needs a higher voltage input for optimum charging efficiency. As the engine warms, charging voltage decreases slightly to prevent boiling electrolyte.

@@beerggls thank you i mean it makes sense what your saying i will research it further. If i want to add a 2nd alternator do i wire it in parrelel?

[@beerggls]

Rolling Thunder Yeah if you want 12 V. Series wiring would get 24 V with two 12 V alternators. (12v/14v/12.6v, whatever)

v nice job

You are attempting to show the viewers what your working on ,yet your not putting the item in front of the camera lense. To low, out of screen .

[@craphittingthefan2360]

I thought the purpose of this video is to show people how to test a voltage regulator, all your doing is throwing parts at your car and hope it works.

[@travisowens3959]

I see your online....I'm changing my old alt with a 300 amp alt, but the new alt doesn't hav3 a spot for the 3 wire that plugs back into the alt. Do you have any idea what the side wire is for

[@bradstinson1554]

My question is about the gauges you have on the lcd. Does that plug into your obd2 system for the information? And can you give information on where to find one?

[@fintechrepairshop]

Its called torque kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJmqfWx5gb6JZq8

Hey, I need the front housing (bolt ear cracked) hit me up ill buy it, i have pay pal n stuff
