good
your alternator my be going out
the regulator takes the power produced from the alternator and converts it to the correct voltage before going into the battery.
before you do anything with the alternator, make sure to unplug the battery. Then unplug the cables going into the alternator. There should be two. For the belt there is an engine part called a pulley - lift the pulley upwards to loosen the belt and take it off the alternator. Next you can unscrew the bolts attaching the alternator and take it out.
Voltage flows from the alternator not to it. If it is outputting no voltage it is defective.
How long until you're going to want to have to replace the battery too?A bad alternator is death to the battery - don't wait - do the repair now.
ALternator fuses, if equipped may be on the battery post, in a fuse box, or in the wire going from the battery to the alternator.
Poor alternator or old battery - batteries only have a couple years uf use before they fail.
sounds like the alternator is going bad to me. ive had a car before that it started going bad twice... got rid of that old hunk of junk and got me another one. but try replacing your alternator. is not that expensive, usually 60 bucks.
Alternator output fuse or fusible link under the hood, I can't believe the people that don't state make, model, year and engine size before posting a question.
Chances are extremely good!!
undo the bottom bolt on the alternator and the top tension adjuster bolt. unbolt the ground wire going to it and pull the plug going to it. reverse all steps to put new alternator in.
There are a few reasons why your alternator might keep going bad such as rusty latches under the car. You may also have leaks, dents, or parts that need to be replaced on the vehicle that are effecting your alternator.
