correct, they do not. there are 3 bulbs in the front and rear light housings, 1 is park/svc/running light, turn/brake and BO drive on the very bottom. I was going to clean the side maker lens, noticed the bulb receptacle was heavily corroded, ended up robbing from the other truck bc i twisted...

Well, soldering wire #2 from the regulator to the connection point of where it was broke off from seemed to fix the no charging. I was hesitant at first since i was getting OL on my meter without the output wire connected. I said screw it, what could go wrong and connected the output wire...

Let me see if that is the issue with that alt, by using the other regulator. if it works, then i'll reach out for a replacement resistor, and hopefully i can get the other alt soldered back, then i'll hang test it, and hopefully all is well.

After stripping the insulation back from where i thought the wire goes, i could see that it indeed was crimped with another wire. While trying to solder the wire to the terminal, i inadvertently, desoldered the other end. Gotta strip some more insulation tomorrow and try to solder everything...

Looks like the gold colored resistor is blown. This is off the parts truck. The following are from the “original” alt. The disconnected wire looks to be disconnected from just above the loose wire in the last photo. That connection looks to be the wire’s “natural” point of rest. Blown...

How often is it the voltage regulator is the cause of low voltage output? the pull off alt from my parts truck shows 4.08v dc, 3 volts higher than the alt that came off the truck. I see that eastern surplus has a voltage regulator for sale...

Im not measuring wrong. The alt might not be running at full power, but its producing just enough to keep them topped off. Those voltage numbers were also before driving it. After driving it with all lights on, the voltage was 24.7. So its safe to assume its trickling just enough volts to top off.

Id like to piggy back please. Monday, i went on a short test drive to see if leaving the exhaust side on my svc brake chamber open at the tee made a difference on the dragging. I scanned my gauges about a mile from my house and noticed my charging gauge, with head and svc lights on, was sitting...
