When a voltage regulator fails, it can lead to either over-voltage or under-voltage conditions in the electrical system. This can cause connected components to receive too much power, potentially damaging them, or too little power, leading to malfunction. Symptoms of a bad voltage regulator may include erratic performance of electrical devices, flickering lights, or a dead battery. In vehicles, it can also result in issues with the charging system, affecting overall vehicle performance.

The voltage regulator for the alternator is in the computer. If the voltage regulator in the computer does not work, you can add an external voltage regulator and then your battery will charge normally. Make sure to check the ground on the computer. If the ground is bad on the computer, then the computer will not regulate the voltage to the alternator properly.
