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

No you need to change the regulator on your alternator or you alternator, which comes with a new regulator.
What is a regulator on a 50cc motorbike do?

How do the wires hook up on an alternator?
Typically, the alternator has three connections. One is the ground, which is provided by the bracket that you bolt the alternator to. Second is the main power terminal, and is connected with a bolt to a high power cable that goes directly to the battery. CAUTION: Make sure you disconnect battery ground before you put a wrench on the alternator stud, just in case you touch ground while turning the wrench. Third is a two or three pin connector that goes to the harness, providing regulator power and connection to the warning light. Some older alternators have an external regulator, and they will have a smaller bolted connection to the regulator. Its easy to see which is which, due to the terminal size.

What are the wires for on alternator?
There should be a heavy wire called the Alternator output wire, It carries power from the alternator to power your accessories and to maintain your battery. The smaller wires usually in a plug are either the alternator's voltage sense, Stator/ACurrent/Tachometer output, regulator/indicator light. or if its an Externaly regulated alternator they will be alternator Field, Stator/ACurrent/Tachometer. hope this helps
Where is the voltage regulator on a 1986 buick skyhawk?
The voltage regulator on a 1986 Buick Skyhawk is located inside the alternator. It controls the amount of power sent to charge the batter based on its current state.
I am not getting voltige from alternator to battery how Dow you check sbec to see if your voltage regulator is bad?

Is there a relay for alternater?
Yes. An alternator is ordinarily paired with a voltage regulator relay that will turn off when the battery is fully charged. However, the alternator will continue supplying power to the rest of the electrical system.
