Overcharging Alternator '73 CJ5
I'm having problems with my alternator overcharging. It is putting out 18.46
volts. I have replaced the alternator and regulator with no change. The only
thing I can figure is the regulator is connected incorrectly. The regulator
has four wires (orange, black, yellow, and green). Does anyone know where
these should be connected so I can double check my connections. The Jeep is
a 1973 CJ5.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Overcharging Alternator '73 CJ5
Hi Casey,
Overcharging is always a bad battery with at least one dead cell,
unless you wired the field directly to the ignition.

Re: Overcharging Alternator '73 CJ5
My book says the same but his colors don't match up.
I have a feeling he might have the wrong regulator.

Re: Overcharging Alternator '73 CJ5
Finally got the correct configuration. Ended up talking to tech support at
Borg Warner. They are really good if anyone has questions on thier
products. For everyone else out there who may have the same issue here is
the proper connection:
Black: Ground
Yellow: Ignition
Green: Field
Orange: Indicator
Works well now. Thanks for everyones response. This ng comes through
again. Can't tell you how many times I've had my questions answered in this
ng.
