the voltage regulator
If the alternator is not the issue, it could be a problem with the voltage regulator, wiring, or a faulty battery. Have these components checked by a professional mechanic to determine the cause of the pulsing headlight and interior lights.
The voltage regulator in the alternator can cause issues like this when they start to go bad. The voltage regulator is an integrated part of the alternator and cannot be replaced, if it is bad, the entire alternator must be replaced.
yes
A bad voltage regulator can cause an overcharging condition. Check the wires going to the regulator for corrosion and make sure the regulator has a good ground.
Defective voltage regulator.
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.
Bad voltage regulator
no, the voltage regulater is for charging not the ignition system, it can however drain the battery
defective voltage regulator
A voltage regulator is just as it says. It regulates the voltage that the alternator in your vehicle puts out. Too much voltage and you'll overamp your wiring, and too little can cause parts not to function properly.
