This can be used when the computer/ECM stops regulating the voltage. This can also be done to regulate any 12 volt battery alternator combination. It completely separates the voltage regulating from the computer .

Here are the parts I use. A junk yard would also have these parts.
Parts used
Dodge external voltage regulator (1971-1989)
Voltage Regulator Connector
14 Gauge wire (I color code mine red, black and green for a good ground)
Inline fuse with 15-20 AMP fuse (Not necessary but what I do)
Screws
Electrical tape
Wire Nuts (I solder the connections together but some people use wire nuts.)

Did you have to install a modified driver on the alternator and install a resistor put that external voltage regulator kit?

Will my battery light stay on or go off on a 2000 dodge neon

@jessejones3038 says:

Question if you don’t ground that correctly, can it also cause your lights to flicker?

Man my jeep voltage drops for 15.5 to to low 14 when I put in gear I run js 250 alt it is externally regulated what would stop this problem tried everything

@elisancere3578 says:

Will this work on my 87 jeep commanche? New alt with internal volt reg and the computer is not telling the voltage regulator to charge the battery. Also no more key something is wrong with the key switch. Do I need to take out the internal voltage regulator out of the new alternator in order for your teknic to work? Great video by the way. I'm ready to sell this damn thing I been so frustrated.

@myviews469 says:

Great video but how did you determine it was the regulator? And can I use your solution on Town and Country 2011? Anyone please?

@marcodeluca4068 says:

you're doing this because the excite wire (signal wires ) on alternator is dead?

@marcodeluca4068 says:

Hey, I installed a new battery and alternator, but engine still turns when I disconnect battery terminal. They only way I can check the alternator is when the engine is on, and I only get 12.5 volts and that voltage is probably from battery. I can't figure this one out if anyone can help solve this will be compensated.
