dose ne1 have pics of the voltage regulator on a crx

 

come on ppl help me out

 

voltage regulator is inside the alternator, i have heard of people using ones off chevy's or fords or something like that that are external when the internal one goes- hope this helps

 

you are correct that the regulator is part of the alternator, but why would you do that? just replace the alternator.

 

i called the local honda dealer and he told me about 2 external voltage regs one being behind the glovebox and one being the fuse box itself has ne1 heard nething about this i and goin to a friends rex and lookin behind the glove box and if there is ne thing there i am getin it from him and i am gettin the fuse box i would like a lil more info and pix

 

the alternator has been changed and when the car still would not holdd a charge is when i call honda

 

the honda dealer is talking about the ELD, electric load detector, thats part of the main fuse box. its really not your problem. if the car doesnt hold a charge, then check your battery.


however, i have no idea what he could be referring to behind the glove box. only thing there is the heater blower. but considering you got him talking about the ELD, i would ignore what he said.

 

i have changed the battery i have no idea what is goin on

i just want my rex back

 

why dont you repeat what exactly is your problem so that we can help you.

 

my car would not start so i changed the alternator and it ran for like a day and then i died and would not start with out jumpin it. so i tested the alternator and it was fine then i changed the battery. it ran for about a day again. this is when i called honda and they told me the above

plz help

 

what happens when you turn the key? do you hear noises?

will the car run fine after its jumped?

 

when the key is turned no noise

after jumped the car will run for a while but die

 

sounds like the battery is dead, not indicating a problem with the battery, more likely the alternator.

if the car dies WHILE ITS RUNNING, then theres a problem with your alternator, or something else in the system.

i know you said you changed your alternator. its not uncommon to get a bad alternator as a replacement.

you can check it yourself with a simple voltmeter. jump start the car, and keep it running. then check the voltage between the big wire under the rubber boot on the alternator and any nearby ground (shock tower bolts are fine). it should read 14.5V. if its anything less, that alternator is the problem. get another one.

 

thank u i will check the alt angain and then i will let u. thank u alot if it is not the alt do u have neidea wht eles it could be

 

while youre checking the alternator voltage, check the voltage between the battery terminals. it sohuld be exactly the same as the alternator while the car is running. if its not, that will indicate theres some resistance between the two that shouldnt be there.

 

i will do that checkin and i will keep u posted thanks alot
