Maybe they valved it incorrectly?...
He's back posting as we speak...
Speaking of alternators , I ordered 5 units for land cruiser alternators . .never had a problem shipping them to Lao in the past, this time DHL refused to ship them saying they were a dangerous good , these parts are coming from guangjou China , fuckk DHL I've found a chinky company who delivers overland once a week , cheaper than DHL, it was Chinese New Year though the last order so they might of being a bit cheeky, still pretty good fookers to deal with though
That's like your parachute quip yesterday.
You're getting old mate

Here is a photo of a Yaris regulator :
Note the 2 graphite brushes at the bottom ?
Of course, Lom and Dapper cannot be expected to know this, being respectively a troll and a simpleton.
However it does call into question Dapper's ability to analyse other, much larger things, like.....the technical details of 9/11, which he still bangs on about.
PS....Terry, here's something from a car advice website :
Voltage regulator and Amperage question...
Hi to all, this is my first post here and I'm very happy trying to get my question addressed by you guys.
I have a Yaris hatchback '03 1.3L, 103000 km... recently I have had ignition issues, the engine didn't start a couple of times
I called assistance and got a (+)(+) (-)(-) to charge my battery, but I knew I had another problem.
My first thought was the battery, so I checked it and it was OK...
with the engine started, the voltage was very low 12 V (I don´t have the exact value at hand), so the problem was redirected to the alternator...
So, I had my car checked by a specialist and he told me that the problem turned out to be the voltage regulator...
are the brushes spring loaded so they can valve up and down ?Originally Posted by Latindancer
Automotive voltage regulators don't require or have carbon brushes in them to function.
Neither do they wear out quickly. Alternator brushes do.
The alternator doesn't need the regulator to function either, the bushes can be wired independently of the regulator
Even if the brush holder/housing is attached to the regulator body and the alternator brushes are soldered and wired directly to the regulator circuit itself (as newer Bosch alternator bushes are) the brushes function as part of the alternator/generator/dynamo, not as part of the voltage regulator.
The regulator doesn't need brushes.
Neither do electric car windows have/need valves to operate them.

When the car broke down an hour outside Mudahan just by luck there was an Auto spark Somchai shop opposite.
So Somchai brings all his meters over and runs them over the battery.
Yep,
The Battery was indeed destined for the rubbish tip.
Fair enough, Terry.
You're talking nonsense again, ENT. And once again, you are zeroing in on trivial detail to the exclusion of the bigger picture.
I didn't ever say that regulators need brushes.
Some idiot calling himself "Lom" stated that "there are no carbon brushes in the regulator".
I provided a photo showing that the regulator is a unit which bolts onto the alternator, and which has graphite brushes as an integral part.
And I have never..... ever...... stated that "electric car windows have/need valves to operate them".
Some drunken or idiotic trolls decided to display their idiocy once regarding this, but taking it this far is beyond idiocy.
Do you really have nothing better to do with your time ??
Once again you are attempting to mis-quote me. It is a truly pathetic attempt at a troll.....even for an Aspergic retard like yourself.

Meltdown in progress
This TD us really remarkable there is not one subject that won't inevitably turn into an argument.
A battery fails and a shitfest ensues about carbon regulator doodahs
Fuckin quality entertainment guys
^ Too true...This could be a Mega-Thread...Heh...
I'd just like to express my appreciation to "lom" and ENT for the most satisfying opportunity to verbally kick them ...
the resident trolls/retards.......in the nuts :
It was most gratifying.
and thats what is so great about this place.This TD us really remarkable there is not one subject that won't inevitably turn into an argument.
they refurbish them here, i recently replaced the battery in my pick up and they gave me 500b for the old one.The Battery was indeed destined for the rubbish tip
The regulator has no mechanical parts, it is all electronic and based on semiconductors. The regulator is the part to left in the pic you provided.Originally Posted by Latindancer
The regulator provides current to the field winding through the carbon brush but that does not make it a part of the regulator.
Next you'll tell me that cables are part of the battery since they are connected to it..
You're splitting hairs. Do you have Aspergers the same as ENT, or are you just stupid ? Or a troll ?
My guess is all of the above.
Go to any auto electrician and ask for a regulator , and you will get a unit as pictured, with graphite brushes.
The only nonsense on this page is the crap you're trying to spin about a car voltage regulator having brushes, and that they are somehow integral to the regulator, which they aren't.
The bushes in question are soldered to positive and negative points added to the external housing of the regulator, but are not integral to the voltage regulator as you claim.
You claimed that you valved the electric windows open and closed in your car, saying that that was common idiom in grease-monkey garage/service centre hack/spare parts/car aficionado speak.
You went to great lengths trying to verify that claim, but nobody could believe your astounding explanations, just as nobody's gonna ever agree with your latest claim, that the brushes are an integral part of the voltage regulator
