🔌 Function

The voltage regulator rectifies and regulates alternator / stator charging output so the battery and electrical system receive controlled charging voltage while the engine is running.

Common signs of failure:

• Battery not charging

• Charging voltage too high or unstable

• Gauge voltage spikes at higher RPM

• Repeated battery boiling or electrical component damage

• No output after stator and wiring checks

• Water leak, corrosion or blockage at the regulator cooling connection

• Burn marks, heat damage or melted wiring at regulator terminals

📦 Condition

• Genuine used part

• Removed from running engine where applicable

• In good working condition unless otherwise stated
