Voltage Rebulator replacement - write up
Mods - I'm not sure where this should go - so feel free to move where appropriate.
1991 Ford Bronco 5.0 - just did an engine replacement with a junk yard engine. When done the VR was broken & the alternator wouldn't charge.
This is the old alternator & Regulator. 2 things to notice - first the VR is broken off & 2 the mud coating on the alternator. I honestly think the previous owner sank this truck in the river.
Use your torx wrench & remove the 4 retaining screws.
Now be careful when you remove the old regulator there are springs & brushes under there that will let loose when you pull it out.
remove the brushes from the old regulator & transfer to the new one.
To install the new regulator back into the alternator you need to hold the brushes in place.
Push them into place & slide a small allen wrench into the hole to retain them into place.
Reinstall the VR into the alternator.
Attach the screws & tighten it down & then pull out the allen wrench.
Re-install the alternator into the truck & fire it up!
In my case this fixed my issue & I am charging just how I should be.
Seems the engine & trans are working better now too.
