Mercury Capri Voltage Regulator
The Voltage Regulator is used in Mercury Capri vehicles to control the output of the alternator so as not to overcharge the battery and the electrical system and to keep the voltage range to 13. 5 to 14. 5 volts. This is done by the regulating the battery voltage as well as the system demand and controlling the field current to the alternator rotor. When the battery needs to be charged the regulator increases the field current; it reduces the current when the battery is fully charged to avoid overcharging. Mercury Capri cars of the past had mechanical external voltage regulators that were coil and point type but which had a tendency to wear out and fail. These were later on substituted by the electronic, solid-state voltage regulators which are more efficient in their operation in comparison to the mechanical types which switch on and off 200 times in a second while the new ones switch up to 7000 times in a second. In the course of time, external regulators were incorporated into the alternator, and the modern car may have the voltage regulator function handled by the powertrain control module (PCM), which takes into consideration various parameters to control the charging system output.

Mercury Capri Voltage Regulator Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How do you replace the voltage regulator of lAR-type alternator on Mercury Capri?A: To begin with, you have to remove the alternator and place it on a clean workbench. The voltage regulator/brush holder assembly can be detached by removing the four mounting screws. First, separate the voltage regulator and rubber plugs. After that, separate the brush leads from the holder by removing brush lead retaining screws and nuts. Remember, these screws require a special screwdriver because they have Torx heads in them. To avoid complex situations during the reinstallation of an entirely new voltage regulator, remove both brushes cautiously while avoiding loss of springs. Assuming you are fitting new brushes, place them into old regulator's brush holder then for new voltage regulators insert older brushes into the new regulators' brush holders. Ensure that springs are compressed and that brushes are installed properly in recesses on the brush holder. When fitting the regulator wire use a short wire like a paper clip to hold back brushes in a retracted position.
- Q: How do you replace the External voltage regulator on Mercury Capri?A: Detach the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Locate the voltage regulator on the right side of the engine compartment. If necessary, remove the battery or air cleaner duct to gain access to the voltage regulator. Unplug the electrical connector from the voltage regulator. Remove the regulator mounting bolts. Remove the regulator. Installation is the reverse of removal.
