  • Alternator Regulator Replacement

    My Alternator in my 2003 1kz -te looks like it has given up the ghost as its not charging the batteries, I pulled it put the other night and checked the brushes and even cleaned up the post that they run on and still didn't help, so I am thinking maybe the regulator has sh#t itself, I can get a new regulator and brushes for $80.00 ( off ebay) or replace complete alternator for just a tad over $200.00 ( installing myself). The big question is Has anyone had any success through replacing the regulator and brushes as I don't want to take it out again and replace parts and put back in and find it won't help ????

    check the diodes, and check that you get battery on one of the alternator plug pins when you turn the ignition on and check one of the other has battery on it all the time.

    Next would be to check the windings and if their ok change the regulator.

    Also with the brushes in check you see the resistance of the rotor coils.

      Thanks for that Leigh, I might have to bite the bullet and buy a new one as its a pain pulling it out and then putting back in in as I need the car to get to and from work I even took your voltage booster fuse out as I read somewhere that someone had a problem with theirs But still good after 5 odd yrs

        Well after much debate I decided to replace the alternator, brought through ebay seller Auto8 for a 70amp delivered to Sydney, only took a few days to arrive and they gave me 5yrs warranty. There was 2 sellers ( I think same people with 2 different ebay pages) who only offered 3months. Very happy so far and only took 45 minutes to remove and install and no swearing involved

          2003GXL did you change out the alternator from the top or did you take the wheel off and go in that way?
