1 Wire is hot at all times, the other wire is a hot wire that is switched but goes through the amp/volt gauge and or the battery light then goes to the regualtor

you can only do this if the vehicle has a generator not an alternator OK, on the voltage regulator you short all the wires with a screwdriver at the same time and this will cause the DC voltage to go in one direction this is polarizing and only for a second OK, and never do it if the vehicle has a Alternator, this will cause the diodes to go bad in the Alternator and then you will need one of those as well only on a generator OK, that's all.

You short it out across the points in the regulator.

Kayef57 is correct. It only applies to generators (1964 and before). You only momentarily apply a wire from the battery positive terminal to terminal of the generator. Small spark will occur. Attach the battery side first to make sure the spark is away from the battery.

If you're talking about a regulator for a generator, put the switch on, hit the field with battery voltage, then crank the car.

Try connecting on one side,if it doesn't work go for otherside,i.e., change + - connections.It wont hurt your regulator.
