Charging System Problem 200 amp alternator

[94kingcbra]

Ok I have been having problems with my alternator. It's a 200 amp from tuff stuff performance. It just went out on me again, and I think it is the voltage regulator again. My question is does anybody have a good wiring diagram for the wires that come off the voltage regulator....When I installed it originally I remember having to switch a wire or two around so my voltage light would go off. The wiring diagram that came with it was different than the one in the haynes manual so I just made it work originally. Anybody else have to replace the voltage regulator more than once?

my 200 amp is out too, nut sure what the deal with it was, but when i would disconnect the battery with the motor running it would only stay running for a few seconds, so i swapped my 130 back on

Any body know how to test the regulator?

Give Tuff Stuff a call at 1-800-331-6562 and ask for Bud Riser. He should be able to steer you in the correct direction. The fact that you "switched around wires until it worked" certainly will not bide well for a warrantee claim though.

See if this page helps you out at all.

The only wire that I changed around was the wire for the warning light wire because the harness did not have an output for a warning light. All the other wires were the same except I upraded to 4 awg. I have already spoken with bud about this before but he has been gone for over a week now so I have just been waiting for him to get back....good knowledge from that page thanks
