New to site, new to Mopar overheating issues

F is for Field. Field is shorthand for Electromagnetic Field.
When current flows through the wire windings of the rotor, an electromagnetic field is created.

These voltage regulators control the current flowing into the rotor.
Here's an animated gif illustrating the flow. (hit reload to start it again)

Thank you for the advice. So here's how my evening went, the alt voltage regulator must be fried because the battery didn't charge so I had to jump the car to get it back in the garage. Well another issue the previous owner didn't share was the broken hood hinge, car fired up, hood slammed onto the jumper cables and started cooking the hood. So it looks like a new paint job to the hood is now on the list. As far as the regulator, I think I'm going to go ahead and switch over to electronic. It already has the alt. for the switch.
