i have checked the alternator and it is good but i am not getting juice how do i check to see if the alternater is sending power to the SBEC?
On most vehicles today the voltage regulator is built into the alternator. If that is the case then just replace the alternator. If the voltage regulator is external on your vehicle then replace the voltage regulator.
Defective alternator or internal voltage regulator is bad.
Have you checked the fuses?AnswerMay be a bad voltage regulator. alternator is no good without a voltage regulator. that's what "turns on" the alternator.
YOU MEAN THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR? The voltage regulator is basically a gatekeeper that will shut off the flow of juice to your battery if the voltage goes above a certain level, usually 14.5 volts. This keeps your battery from getting overcharged and cooked. They call it an external voltage regulator nowdays because newer alternators have them built into the alternator unit itself
Maybe the battery is defective. Check the voltage at the battery terminals with the engine running at idle. You should get 13.5 to 16 volts. If not the alternator is defective or the voltage regulator is bad. If you are getting the correct voltage, the battery is bad or the connections are corroded.
The battery light comes on when the alternator output voltage is too low or too high. You have a wiring or regulator problem.The battery light comes on when the alternator output voltage is too low or too high. You have a wiring or regulator problem.
the voltage regulator is built into the alternator, check voltage at battery connections should be 14.5 volts
faulty voltage regulator
Defective voltage regulator.
Two things can happen. 1. the voltage regulator fails so that the alternator doesn't know the battery charge is dropping therefore the battery doesn't get charged. 2. The voltage regulator fails in such a way as to allow the alternator to overcharge the battery which causes the battery to overheat and fail, Sometimes an overcharged battery can explode.
either the alternator or the voltage regulator are no good.may also be a bad battery
The vehicle should ave a voltage regulator. If the battery and alternator are good then the regulator is most likely bad.
