		alternator - where is the sensor that tells it how much to put out?

	I tried three different alternators today, and they all only were putting out 11-12 volts. 
 
I am wondering if whatever it is that tells them how much power to put out is malfunctioning or some extra resistance somewhere in the wires. 
 
Either that or 3 dud alternators

	I had 3 different girlfriends exactly the same! I always got a slap in the face when I asked them how much they put out     
 
Still not sure why     
 
FREE BUMP! hahaha

	rob - where you measuring them at 2000-3000rpm?? 
 
Next thing to test. The "S" wire on the 3 pin alternator plug should be connected to the battery, test that - might be a blown fuse.
