MM-VC4 Voltage controller for Ford 6G alternators, 3-pin RVC compatible
✅ It WILL work on: Ford vehicles that use a 6G-style alternator with a 3-pin regulator plug ONLY if that plug has a middle pin (pin #2) present and active (This is what Ford calls their RVC or computer-controlled voltage system.) Common vehicles with the right setup include:
? Pro Tip: If the alternator plug on your Ford has 3 wires and a middle wire is present, you’re likely good to go. If it only has 2 wires (no middle), it’s not RVC and this controller won’t work.

Various Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, and Town Car models (early 2000s)
These years aren’t guaranteed, but they’re most likely to have the correct 6G 3-pin setup. ALWAYS check for the middle pin in the plug.
❌ It will NOT work on:
Fords with:4G or 3G alternators
The wrong plug (missing middle pin)
LINbus or PCM-controlled Smart alternators (mostly 2022+)
Newer vehicles (2022 and up) with LIN or BMS-based charging systems
Any non-Ford vehicles — unless you’ve swapped in a Ford 6G alternator with the 3-pin plug and middle pin.
