Merry Christmas and Happy New year to all.
My 300 amp alternator went out so I replaced it with a new one but the new one has an internal regulator and the old had an external Pentex PX 4000 regulator. The shop that sold me the new one gave me a diagram and explained that I only need the blue ignition wire in addition to battery and ground but did not mention doing anything with the existing regulator. It is not working properly and I now believe I was supposed to disconnect the wires from the old regulator but not sure what to do with them. Has anyone else dealt with this?
Thanks
