The engine computer, behind the battery, is the voltage regulator.
A 1997 Pontiac Sunfire would have a voltage regulator and it would be found inside the alternator.

where is voltate regulator found on 1993 BMW 318i
The voltage regulator is built into the alternator. I found this out when I was given an alt with a bad VR and was pushing 19v instead of 12.
Found the answer: The voltage regulator on a 98 Dodge RAM 1500 is NOT in the alternator. The alternator specifically states that the voltage is "Externally Regulated". In this vehicle the voltage regulator is built into the computer of the vehicle. To repair a bad voltage regulator in the computer you can either replace the computer or bypass the computer using about $50 in parts (ask your mechanic). Hope this helps.
Inside and integral to the alternator.
On a 2004 GMC Yukon, the voltage regulator is integrated into the alternator. To access it, you'll typically need to remove the alternator from the engine. Once removed, the voltage regulator can be found as part of the alternator assembly. If you're experiencing electrical issues, it may be necessary to test or replace the entire alternator, as the regulator is not designed to be serviced separately.

As far as I know thevoltageregulstor is integral to the alternator.
On a 1988 Toyota Cressida, the voltage regulator is typically integrated into the alternator. To access it, you would need to remove the alternator from the engine bay. Once the alternator is removed, the voltage regulator can be found on the back of the unit. Make sure to disconnect the battery before attempting any repairs to avoid electrical mishaps.
HI, All of my info and my garage tell me that the voltage regulator is part of the alternator. That's also what I found when I replaced the alternator on my '97. I hope this solves your dillema and yours is running soon. Steve H.
