I NEED TO KNOW..................

What an ELECTRONIC REGULATOR DOES.I have a 1981 Ford F250. I am having starting problems. All it does is clicks...I have replaced the starter ,selenoid,& the battery.Could this little box be my problem? (it's located right below the selenoid,on the passenger side engine wall).---------p.s. my heater blower ,wind shield wipers and radio all stop working when i turn the ignition key.But my head lights don't dim.) any advice would help.-----

Electronic regulator is for your alternator, I am afraid it does not have to do with starting your truck. Did you buy a good starter or a cheap one ? may need to have switch tested or check connections and cables for good condition.
