Yes it could if you drove without it working draining the battery. Then later there may not be enough to restart engine after shutting down. Feel free to contact me for more help if you like.

Can the voltage regulator stop the motor from firing on a 1990 dodge 250 van?
No, the voltage regulator determines the alternators output voltage. That's all it does. If the regulator fails the battery level can drop to the point that there will not be sufficient charge to start the engine, but the regulator will not directly cause the engine to not run.
What will happen if your cars voltage regulator is bad?
Either you won't get enough voltage, and the car will stop once your battery is discharged, or you'll get excessive voltage, and you could end up actually overloading the battery and causing it to rupture, starting a fire, etc.
What causes your voltage needle to rise slowly?
It is normal for the gauge to increase slowly when you first start the vehicle. This is because the voltage regulator is compensating for the power that has been drained from the battery during starting the vehicle. The voltage should stop around 15 volts though, if it continues above 16 volts you could have a bad regulator. Voltage above 16 volts can damage your battery and other electrical equipment in your vehicle.
How do you test voltage regulator on motorcycle?
Check the battery voltage, bike not running. Start the bike (crank the rpm's up a little), voltage should be a couple of volts more than battery voltage. Check both voltage (running and not running) at battery terminals. Charge voltage isn't all though, if it doesn't stop charging when it should it will boil the battery dry. If you are having this symptom, it's for sure the regulator
I changed the starter and voltage regulator in my ford f150 but when i turned it on it won't stop trying to turn over and I had to pull battery cable any ideas?
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.
What do you do if the voltage raguator will not stop the altnator from charging the battery Inreturn the altantor puts out to many volts. In a range of 16 up at a low rpm?
bad voltage regulator, should not go passed 14, should not go below 12
If voltage regulator is bad what will it do to your vehicle?
It will either undercharge or overcharge the battery. If the battery is subjected to overcharge for some period of time, it boils dry and is destroyed. If it's undercharged, then you may not have the cranking power that you need for starting.. If the voltage regulator is so bad that there's no output from it at all, then you drive along normally for some distance, unaware that you're driving on only battery, and then at some point you reach the end of the battery, suddenly have no ignition, and putter to a stop. In this case also, the battery is probably destroyed. And they ain't cheap any more. Better to check the regulator, and install a new one if needed.
What is transform function?
To stop up or step down the voltage
What would cause the electric window to stop working on the drivers side onlyon a Ford Fiesta 1990 and it's not the fuse as the passenger window works and both are on the same fuse?
It could be your window regulator.

replace the window regulator.
An alarm sounds when starting your 99 ford ranger be?
You have to unlock the car and then start it up and then it'll stop the alarm but you sould get it checked out by a professional.
