What causes the alternator on a 1986 Dodge Lancer to overcharge?

Asked by Wiki User

Most likely a bad voltage regulator--on any vehicle. The regulator is supposed to control alternator field current for a charging voltage of 14.5 volts more or less, and may have up to 16 volts. More than 16 volts is hazardous to the electrical system (viz boiling the battery dry or burning out other components). (A fully charged 12-volt battery should show 12.6 volts at rest, the charging voltage with engine running is higher in order to push electrons back into the battery against that.)

Unfortunately, voltage regulators are virtually never owner-fixable (epoxy-encapsulated invisible mystery circuit board with no adjustments!) except to replace with a new one. The only good news is that they sell for around $10, compared to an alternator at about $200!

Asked by Wiki User

The timing should not need setting unless you have a failed timing belt or head repair of sorts. after the new parts for the head are all in place set no 1 piston to top dead center, line the cam sprocket and the crank so both timing marks are together going north south put on the timing belt and tighten the pensioner up you have base timing hook up a timing light loosen the distributor and locate the timing window on the bell housing (near the head) mark the recommended setting with a white marker and and the required setting on the window. start the engine and using your light line up your setting or as you desire!

Remove the screws on the side of the steering column. Remove the screws underneath the steering column and pull the bottom half of the column down. Slide a pin punch into the hole at the ignition tumbler assembly's bottom. Force the tumbler upwards and pull it out of the steering column.
