This video is an answer to where is my voltage regulator and how do I remove or swap it out. This is a 1999 Polaris Sportsman 500. Other years makes and models will of course vary. And I do disconnect my battery although its usually not indicated. Below are some symptoms of a bad voltage regulator. I don't get into all that in the video. Just where and how. Always remember to check your year make and model and part number. They can be different than the one in the video. Below is a link to the part specific to the machine Im working on in the video. If you need to search a different part. The link will still get you where you need to be.

Symptoms of a bad voltage regulator include but are not limited too.
Probably the most common symptom is. Flickering or Dimming head
lights. Change in brightness when throttling.
Frequently blown bulbs. No High Beams.
Also: Dead battery or frequent/unusual need to top off with
distilled water.
Non functioning instrument cluster lights. But there could
be other things contributing to that as well.
There are ways to test a voltage regulator of course but the
results above would likely be present if you demonstrated high or low or no
voltage output while testing.
It does not affect the price you would pay. Links are provided for convenience. But I may make a small commission (Usually pennies.) on any products purchased through the Amazon Assoc. Program. Via links provided. Thank you for your support.
This video is for demonstration purposes only. Always follow your manufacturers and year make and model recommendations and requirements. And I do disconnect my battery.
