It's inside the alternator. If you haven't already done one (and evidently you haven't) it would probably be best for you to just replace the whole thing. Some special tools are required and it can get a little overwhelming for the first timer.

The regulator is located inside the alternator. You will either have to get another alternator, or call around to find a shop that repairs them.

Nissan 300ZX 1990 don't start with its battery but starts with a jumper from another car The battery voltage when the car is running is 10Volts. Is the voltage correct for this model what can be wrong?

Normal operating voltage should be close to 13.5. If you're only getting 10V, you need to replace the alternator and/or regulator. I'm not certain but usually the regulator is inside the alternator. If you can drive the vehicle to an auto parts retailer, you can probably have them test the charging system for you.

Check on the firewall near the coil. the voltage regulator is internal with the ecu for this model truck...if you, like me, have had yours go bad (internally) you can optionally use an external regulator from your parts store, just ask them if they carry a vr32 or a vr1...both of which should work


My car battery is swollen - smells like rotten eggs - and gets very hot - i changed the alternator and it is still over charging - it's up to18 on the gauge what else could it be?

Did you check the voltage regulator? As the apperance my change from Model to Model, the voltage regulator connects to your aletrnator directly. I believe the regulator tells the alternato exactly how much power is needed to safely operate the vehicle. I had same prob with my 77 mustang II. Swollen battery, rotten eggs, and too much power.. Replaced the battery and voltage regulator and my problems were gone. Hope this helps.
