- Fits: 1998 Chevrolet Camaro V6 3.8L and other vehicles
- Condition: New
A failing regulator can show up as dim or flickering lights, a charging warning light or a battery that won't hold a charge. Before you replace the regulator, rule out the battery, the alternator and the wiring at the regulator connector, since each can produce charging complaints like these. If a failed regulator is the cause, this one replaces it. The charging system takes a single regulator, and this listing is one unit.
