Fun story, but not applicable to the original poster's '91 Acclaim -- not
even a little bit. Also, "12v" automotive voltage regulators have set
points of between 13.8 and 15.1 volts. A regulator with a set point of 12v
would not charge the battery.

I was suggesting that simple faults can make things look like sometime which
they are not, and yes you are correct 12V wont charge the battery, the OP
had alternator problems which im pretty sure I gave some suggestions towards
a possible cure. 12V regulators do exsist, like my old car raised to around
13V via the resistance in the dash lamp, the OP has a valuable new view
point on his problem to which I replied.

assuming you replied to my msg, the lamp was part of those car diagnostic
"features", I think the idea was that if the regulator shorted out it would
light the lamp on the dash... only mine had a I/O short (at some point in
its life) so the lamp never lite, but yet the battery was charging to to
19V... It also doubled up to raise the regulator voltage to about 13V....so
much for technology..... good idea in theory though ;-)

I have a 91 Plymouth Acclaim, and the alternator doesn't charge the
battery. I took the alternator out and had it tested, and there's
nothing
wrong with it. I put a new battery in it, but it still won't charge. I
checked the fuseable link from the alternator to the battery, and there
is
continuity. Therefore, it must be the computer.
there are 4 connections on the alternator
L1: direct to battery, positive
L2: direct to battery, negative
c1: small wire, logic, to computer, activates diode
c2: small wire, logic, to computer, also battery ground.
I want to activate the alternator continuously and put on an external
voltage regulator.
What must the voltage (and current), to the logic inputs c1 & c2 be to
do
so?
I have in mind to run a potentiometer between L1 and c1, and adjust it
until the alternator kicks on.
The schematic shows that c1 goes to the coil of a transformer in the
alternator, which then goes to one of the diodes (an SCR?)
I had a problem with one of my cars in the past with the alternator not
charging, what this turned out to be was the ground pin on the regulator
was
going via a lamp on the dashboard, thus giveing a slight volt raise on
the
ground so you got maybe 13V from the 12V regulator, though it took me a
long
time to work out why my battery wouldn't charge, turns out the bulb went
on
the dashboard, no ground on the regulator, alternator didn't charge the
battery, thus car wouldn't start.... strange how a small item such as a
dashboard light can stop the car from starting ;-)

It was in the ground, I actually grounded the point instead of going via the
lamp, battery only got around 11V on it though at least it proved the point.
It was actually a 12V regulator, I measued it with a DMM at the time and
even at high revs it only ever hit 12.5V, so it needed a higher ground ref,
hence via the dash lamp. I would never have thought they would do such
tricks like that on cars, ive seen it countless times on electronics
equipment, though was supprised to see the same trick on a car.

Hi D.S.,
We rigged it up like you said, and the thing works! I got a
voltage regulator at Advance Auto from off your list, wired
everything, and now there's 14 volts of charge on the battery.
Thank you for your help. It saved me from having to get another

This idea of installing an external voltage regulator to bypass
a faulty computer, doesn't work. I put one on and it charged at
14 volts for about a day, then it jumped to 18 volts. I tried a
different brand voltage regulator, and it did the same. The
battery is boiling and smells like sulfur, the high beams went
out, and I'm in the hole for 2 voltage regulators that work like
junk.
I have a 7 watt 1.2 ohm ceramic resistor out of a TV set. It
can only handle 2 amps. If I put it in series between the
regulator and the alternator field, it should drop the voltage
to the field by 3 volts. However, I think I need a heavier duty
resistor.

Sounds a lot like you did it wrong. I bet I know exactly which step you
skipped 'cause you figured it was unnecessary. But there's a reason it was
written specifically into the procedure!

Quit fuckin' around with resistors. Put the external regulator in
correctly and it'll do just fine for you, as it's done just fine for many
others before you and will do fine for many others after you. |

It's also quite possible that you installed the external regulators
correctly, but your alternator's rotor is drawing excessive current, which
fried the ECM's voltage regulator and has fried your two externals. Parts
store alternator "testers" are very crude devices. I'd post the rotor
current draw spec, but the manuals are in my office.
