Alternator installation instructions needed

Good afternoon,

I attached the wiring diagram plus the connection view for you as well. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.Let me know if you have any other questions.

i am female just ordered a new alternator will be here soon. I will be doing it by myself heard it was simple need to know in detail how to remove then replace the alternator PLEASE

Which engine do you have? Most of the time these alternators develop worn brushes which can be replaced for around ten bucks. You can tell that by measuring the voltages on the two smaller wires on the back while the engine is running.

Alternator on 1987 Chrysler 5th Ave is cranking out 20 volts and burned out battery. New battery installed and still alt. cranking 20 volts. Does this car have a votage regulator that can be replaced? Or an EMC?

It's a external voltage regulator then can be replaced.I posted a diagram of where it is.

Thank you very much for your quick answer. This is what I was hoping, as my son can replace it for me now. I sure appreciate your answer. Merry Christmas to you. Judi

Thank ou saturntech9. Your answer is very much appreciated. Merry Christmas.....Judi

Your welcome hope you had a merry christmas.

My son wanted me to ask you also, if pretty much it sounds like it IS the voltage regulator that is causing the alternator to crank out 20 volts instead of 12 to 13? I mean, it seems like that would be the only thing that it could be. What is an (and I might get this wrong), EMI or EMC? Or if the car has an external VR, it doesn't have this other EMI or EMC? Thanks again for helping with this.

You have a external voltage regulator i posted the wire diagram to show you that.I also posted how to test the voltage regulator to see if it's bad.You could have a bad voltage regulator but i would do the test i posted to make sure that's what the problem is.

Thank you again for your help. I will forward this info to my son. Again, Happy Holidays! Judi

Your welcome that's what were here for happy holidays to you too.'
