Ford Explorer Voltage Regulator
The Function of the Voltage Regulator is to regulate the output voltage of the alternator to protect the battery and the electrical system in a Ford explorer vehicle. This is achieved by comparing the battery voltage along with the systems requirement with the field current that is supplied to the alternator rotor by the regulator and thus maintaining adequate charging voltage of between 13.5 and 14.5 V. All models of Explorer up to the previous generation used mechanical voltage regulators that were upgraded to electronic solid-state types. These solid-state regulators can turn 'on' and 'off' at a higher frequency than the mechanical regulators making charges on the charging systems to be precise. Hence in recent models of Ford Explorers, the voltage regulating function is embedded in the PCM, and efficiency in terms of charging system is dependent on battery temperature, load on the engine and total electrical demand.

Ford Explorer Voltage Regulator Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and install a voltage regulator in an alternator on Ford Explorer?A: Check the availability of a new regulator before proceeding. On some models it may be available only as a new unit with a new Alternator. To remove, first remove the alternator. Set the alternator on a clean workbench. For 4.0L pushrod V6 models, remove the four voltage regulator mounting screws and detach the voltage regulator from the alternator. Detach the rubber plugs and remove the brush lead retaining screws and nuts to separate the brush leads from the holder. Note the relationship of the brushes to the brush holder assembly, then move both brushes. Don't lose the springs. If you're installing a new voltage regulator, insert the old brushes into the brush holder of the new regulator. If you're installing new brushes, insert them into the brush holder of the old regulator. Make sure the springs are properly compressed and the brushes are properly inserted into the recesses in the brush holder, then install the brush lead retaining screws and nuts. For 4.0L SOHC V6 and 5.0L V8 models, remove the rear cover mounting screws and detach the rear cover from the alternator. Remove three voltage regulator mounting screws and detach the voltage regulator from the alternator. The alternator brushes on these models are soldered to the voltage regulator, therefore the voltage regulator/brush assembly must be replaced as a unit. To install, insert a short section of wire or straightened paper clip, through the hole in the voltage regulator to hold the brushes in the retracted position during regulator installation. Carefully install the regulator. Make sure the brushes don't hang up on the rotor. Install the voltage regulator screws and tighten them securely. Remove the wire or paper clip. Finally, install the alternator.
