It's inside the alternator, most people just replace the alternator if it isn't charging but you can take the alternator apart if you know how and put in a new voltage regulator for about $15.
The Volatge Regulator Is Inside The Alternator.
On a 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass, the voltage regulator is typically integrated into the alternator itself. To access it, you would need to locate the alternator, which is usually mounted on the front of the engine. If the voltage regulator is separate, it can often be found mounted on or near the firewall or fender well. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for specific details related to your model.
Best guess without actually touching the vehicle would be the voltage regulator. on most cars this is part of the alternator. I would start by checking the voltage on the battery while the car is idling and while running ~2000 rpm

the voltage regulator is located in the voltage regulator compartment

: It is located inside the alternator. Replacing it requires the use of a soldering iron. You have to remove the housing bolts on the alternator when it is off the vehicle. Then, there is a plastic cover over where the 4 wires for the voltage regulator is soldered in. Heat the connections with the soldering iron, and use a flat screwdriver to separate them. If I remember correctly, there are 2 small screws that hold the voltage regulator in. Installing the new regulator is reverse of removal. You will also need a small wire or Allen wrench to hold the brushes in while putting the housing back together.When separating the housing, pay attention to the alignment of the two halves.
The dropper diode voltage regulator is a type of voltage regulator. It is comprised of a single diode that serves as the voltage regulating device.
