My daughter 2014 Honda Accord couldn't start 2 days ago, I had it jump but it didn't start, so I swapped the battery of my S2000 to her car to have her driving home.
I had her battery charged overnight and tested it at Pep Boys, they said the battery was good at or near 100%.
Today I had the alternator tested at Autozone. The first minute with engine idle it was good at 14.3V-14.4V, then the tester flashing error or something like that and I think I saw the word "voltage regulator" is bad. It was at night on dimly lit parking lot so it was a little hard to read the handheld tester.
My question is, what is the "Voltage Regulator for Alternator" ? How hard is it to repair or replace Voltage Regulator ? Where can find Voltage Regulator for 2014 Accord LX 4-cyl ?
PS Autozone doesn't have Alternator for this '14 Accord, Amazon doesn't have it in stock and it is $300, Rockauto has remanufactured REMY at $215 + $50 core + $15 shipping cost.
