Voltage regular???

I have 1986 Bronco 302 efi aod....
I am not a mechanic but where is the voltage regular located???

My truck would not start, had to jump twice to drive 20 miles to home.
Check Battery = ok
Check Alternator = ok (14 volts)

Could it be bad voltage regular?

That one could be integral to the alternator.

Otherwise, look for a silver box near the starter solenoid on the right inner fender.

Voltage regulator is approx 3x3x1" with a four pin plug in the side.

The regulator is usually attached to the R inner fender near the starter relay, but your problem sounds more like a bad starter relay. When you change it, get the newer style where all the posts point the same direction.
