ALTERNATOR REGULATOR - EXTERNAL REGULATOR TYPE 1987 Lincoln Mark VII 1987 ELECTRICAL Ford Motor Co. Alternator Regulator Ford; Crown Victoria, Mustang, Taurus, Thunderbird Lincoln; Continental, Mark VII, Town Car Mercury; Cougar, Grand Marquis, Sable DESCRIPTION There are 2 types of alternators used with external regulators. One type is a rear terminal and the other is a side terminal. Current is supplied from alternator-regulator system to rotating field of alternator through 2 brushes to 2 slip rings. Power is produced in form of alternating current which is rectified to direct current by 6 diodes. Alternator regulator automatically adjusts alternator field current to maintain alternator output voltage within prescribed limits to correctly charge battery. A fusible link is incorporated into the wiring harness between the starter relay and alternator to prevent damage should the harness become grounded or a booster battery be used with incorrect polarity. The external electronic voltage regulator consists of transistors, diodes, and resistors. The 2 systems utilize 2 regulators. The first, with connector color coded Black, is used in systems with an indicator warning light. The second, with Neutral colored connector, may be used in indicator warning light or ammeter equipped systems. A 500-ohm, 1/4-watt resistor is used on models with an indicator warning light. Resistor is located on back of instrument cluster. ON-VEHICLE TESTS BATTERY VOLTAGE TEST Connect negative lead of voltmeter to negative battery post and positive lead to positive battery post. Record battery base voltage for comparison with other test results. NO LOAD TEST 1) Attach tachometer to engine. Start engine and operate at 1500 RPM with no electrical load (foot off brake and doors closed)
