    inside of the alternator. Your alternator is internally regulated. HTH :D

      The voltage regulator is actually replaceable if you take out the air box. Look it up on realoem. Just need a flat head screwdriver.

      Report back.

        on the back of the alternator. It's secured by two screws.

          This and this. The regulator is actually one of about two or three parts that are readily available. Otherwise, you are probably looking at a complete reman unit.
