Grapejuice1998 Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Recently I was swapping out my alternator and noticed it has some wort of wiring conversion, or deletion. What's happening here and why? Thanks! Quote
Rock Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Your alternator has an internal regulator. I am guessing the regulator has been deleted or by passed. Quote

Doesn't it look as though there was part of that taped up wiring (about 2 o'clock) that used to plug into where that black plastic filler plug is now (12 o'clock)? Is that the difference between an internal and external regulator alternator? Quote
Rock Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 If it has a single wire and a ground then the regulator on the core support should be by passed. The original connector was removed on mine. There's a video about the procedure on YouTube. 1 Quote
