Is both wires n the plug the same on voltage regulator
In a voltage regulator plug, the wires may not necessarily carry the same voltage. The voltage regulator is a component in a vehicle's electrical system that controls and regulates the voltage produced by the alternator, ensuring a consistent voltage output to the battery and other electrical components.
In the plug of a voltage regulator, there are typically multiple wires, each serving different purposes and carrying different voltages. For instance:
1. **Voltage Input and Output Wires:** These wires might differ in voltage. The input wire connects to the alternator or battery, carrying the higher voltage that needs regulation. The output wire, connected to the electrical system, carries the regulated voltage for the vehicle's operation.
2. **Ground Wire:** This wire is crucial for completing the circuit and ensuring proper functioning of the voltage regulator. It does not typically carry a voltage; instead, it serves as the return path for the electrical current.
3. **Sensing Wire:** In some regulators, there might be a sensing wire that monitors the system voltage. This wire doesn't usually carry a high voltage but rather acts as a feedback mechanism for the regulator to adjust its output.
It's important to identify and understand the wiring configuration of the voltage regulator plug, as incorrect connections or wiring can lead to electrical issues or even damage to the vehicle's electrical system. Referencing the vehicle's service manual or wiring diagrams specific to the make and model can provide accurate information about the voltage levels and the purpose of each wire in the voltage regulator plug.

Keeway fact 50 2008 just turns over but not starting
What exactly is it doing when you try to start it? A slow, lazy start is commonly a low charged or weak battery. Just spinning and not trying to start is often a 'No Spark' issue. Turning, trying to start but stalling out is usually a fuel supply problem.
