You hear noises coming from the alternator. The dash light for charging stays on. If not equipped with light might be a guage, in which case you see it not charging.

How do you replace regulator in s series 1995 Saturn?

Which regulator? The voltage regulator is INSIDE the alternator. If that regulator has failed you can either rebuild the alternator (don't even try unless you're experienced), or you can simply replace the alternator. The fuel pressure regulator is near the rear of the engine, drivers side. Just get a new one, pop out the old one, clean everything well and put the new one in it's place.

There are generally two signs that the alternator is going bad. First is the noise. A new noise will begin to be heard. Something like a whining when the car is accelerating. Second is the smell. You may smell burning from the engine department.
