Alternator External Regulator

[tirantha2]

In my car alternator internal regulator is not working properly.. So I decided to put external regulator .I brought 12v a regulator from market , In that regulator has 4 wires called +,F,A,- . After by passing internal regulator I got out 3 wires from alternator thats are 2 wires from field coil and other wire is get from via 3 diodes.

1). Anyone knows what is the meaning of +,F,A,- ( I guess "F" is field) ?

2.) What terminal are we supposed to connect via voltage regulator (positive or negative) ?

3.)If anyone has schematic or something ?

thanx

Go visit the nearest auto electric shop before your external regulator start draining currency from your wallet in high capacity. You can be a happy spectator there rather than being a sad weekend DIY fail.Just a friendly advice mate! Love it or leave it.

DIY Auto Electricals are a No Go area for me...

I agree with MiniAce about letting the experts handle it.

If the vehicle is low tech in terms of electronics and more importantly, you know what you're doing...hooking up an external voltage regulator is not biggie.

I've done it a few times on my bikes without any issues
