charging sys with electronic voltage reg.

[Ronald Weishaar]

Many decades ago when I was a Chrysler Dealership mechanic in 1970, the electronic voltage reg. was on the 1970 cars. I remember grounding a wire on the voltage reg. wiring plug to bypass the reg. This would make the Alternator charge and meant that I had a bad reg. But being 5o years plus later, I can't remember which wire on the regulator plug to ground. Can someone help me remember.

If the colors haven't been changed--green. Both wires in the regulator's connector go to the two field terminals on the alternator but for full-field testing you'd want the one that takes a direct path.
If there's any doubt--unplug the field wires from the alternator and connect a jumper from one field terminal to ground.

Green wire is the one must be grounded for full fielding to the alt. Blue wire is the signal coming from ign switch.

If you want to full field the alt, keep the blue wire conected and jump to ground the other brush

Or, you can either unplug reg and simply jump the green wire from there and will be testing also the wire. No need to take care of the blue wire at reg plug, just the green to ground.

I remember now, thanks
