Lincoln Mark VII Voltage Regulator
The function of the Voltage Regulator in Lincoln Mark VII is to safeguard the battery and the electrical tract from high voltages furnished by the alternator, keeping it in a range 13.5 V to 14.5 V. It's able to do this by always checking for the voltage level of the battery and the requirement of the system, and then regulating the current to the alternator's rotor as a result. In case the battery is low this regulator boosts field current and in cases where the battery is fully charged it drops the current to avoid overcharging the battery. In prior models of Lincon Mark VII, there were mechanical voltage regulators mounted externally and they employed coils and contact points which depreciated time and often fail. These were replaced later by electronic, solid-state voltage regulators that are much more efficient and open and close far faster than the mechanical ones. With time, additional regulators were introduced into the alternator, now it is the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) that regulates the voltage output of the alternator bearing in mind the state of the battery, for instance, its temperature, and load on the car's engine among other factors.

Lincoln Mark VII Voltage Regulator Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to replace External Voltage Regulator on Lincoln Mark VII?A: To detach the cable from the negative terminal of the battery, locate the voltage regulator on the right side of the engine compartment. The external voltage regulator is placed in the corner of the engine compartment and then unplug the electrical connector from the voltage regulator, and remove the regulator mounting bolts. The installation is the reverse of removal.
- Q: How do you replace the Voltage Regulator of lAR-type alternator on Lincoln Mark VII?A: To remove the alternator, set it on a clean workbench. Then, remove the four voltage regulator mounting screws to detach the voltage regulator/brush holder assembly. Lift the assembly from the alternator and detach the rubber plugs. Remove the brush lead retaining screws and nuts to separate the brush leads from the holder. Note that the screws have Torx heads and require a special screwdriver. After noting the relationship of the brushes to the brush holder assembly, remove both brushes, being careful not to lose the springs. If installing a new voltage regulator, insert the old brushes into the brush holder of the new regulator. If installing new brushes, insert them into the brush holder of the old regulator, ensuring the springs are properly compressed and the brushes are properly inserted into the recesses in the brush holder. Install the brush lead retaining screws and nuts. Insert a short section of wire, like a paper clip, through the hole in the voltage regulator to hold the brushes in the retracted position during regulator installation. Carefully install the regulator, making sure the brushes don't hang up on the rotor. Install the voltage regulator screws and tighten them securely. Finally, remove the wire or paper clip and install the alternator.
