It's easy to check the system. First, make absolutely sure you've got 12v going to the "S" connector of the voltage regulator. Then, if you run a jumper wire between the 12v power at "S" and the "F" connector on the voltage regulator, and then start the car with the engine running
no faster than 1500 RPM, the ammeter should show a charge. If it does, then the voltage regulator is bad. On the other hand, if you still have no charging then the problem is the alternator
