My Rhino seems to have lost charging system. Amp gauge stopped moving, battery voltage slowly going down after each start.
External voltage regulator has 12v in, grounded, but 11.5-11.8 output. Which leads me to believe it is bad. Current version is a FT111, which all I can really find on is that it is 12v in, with cut off at 14v.
Can I replace with one of the following?
JFT149 ( Voltage Regulator / Old Style )
JFT 142A ( Voltage Regulator )
As far as the alternator goes, I should be able to disconnect the field lead coming from the regulator and attach 12v lead from the batter to that terminal. That should momentarily kick on the alternator, correct?
