All right. I was going to ask this question to the Tech section of our TLCA magazine but I don't know how soon he can reply... So here it is:
The voltage regulator is giving me problems. some times is allowing 14 volts and some times is letting everything drop to like 9 volts. I've opened the case and fiddle with the contact points to allow me to go back to 13-14 volts but after a while it starts acting up again... so I went to one of those auto store parts and bought me a solid state voltage reg. the problem is that it has a different connector from the one in my truck. what I have is what the LC manual (Hayes) shows: a rectangular connector with 6 prongs. What the new connector has is 6 prongs but in a round connector. Of course the cable colors on the regulator are different from the factory ones... I'm planning on cutting the new connector and replacing it with the old, rectangular one.
The question: Does anybody have the time to take and post a pic on an original Voltage reg. connector that shows which cable is which on that round connector...? This is for a 1982 FJ40 model but I think it is the same for the FJ60... Thanks in advance...
