You have connected the wires wrong. You need to make sure that you connect the wires the way that they came off.Somewhere you got them mixed up and connected wrong.
Voltage Regulator?
No. The DC output from the voltage regulator is connected directly to either the positive terminal of the battery or the hot side of the starter relay on some older models.
No, a defective battery will prevent the engine from starting but once it is running the battery will not cause hesitation. the the starter relay is disengaged , and the alternator takes over battery charging via voltage regulator . voltage regulator prevents power surges and prevents voltage fluctuation.
there is a porcelain block on the firewall called a ballast resistor that limits voltage to the starter and there is also the voltage regulator that regulates voltage to the battery.
Weak battery Bad starter Loose or corroded battery cables Bad neutral switch
I think it is next to the starter solenoid close to the battery.
how will I know my Voltage regulator is bad. I have replaced the starter and had the battery and alternator checked they are good. My car will start when it is colder outside but as the day gets hotter it will not start.. Can you help
Check the voltage regulator mounted to the fender
All cars have a battery make the electrical components function. The charging system consists of a battery,starter an alternator and a voltage regulator. The battery turns the starter over causing the engine to run. As the engine is running the alternator produces electricityto keep it running. The voltage regulator keeps the current regulated so that the battery does not overcharge. ok, the forst answer was nearly correct except the starter motor is not part of the charging systm. the charging sytem consists of, the battery, the alternator,or generator,and thevoltage regulator. the voltage regulator is sometimes built into the alternator on newer cars ,where as they all used to be an extra equipment bolted onto firewall or inside fender
have the battery tested, average life of a battery is 2 to 3 years. if battery is good check voltage regulator and starter motor. there is a short somewhere if the battery is good
Only when you are Starting the car to turn the starter motor is the battery drawing current. Once the car starts, the alternator delivers the current and the voltage regulator regulates the voltage.
The engine computer, behind the battery, is the voltage regulator.
