Got a new alternator with internal regulator. but when I started the motor it's putting out 17 volts at 900 rpm (engine-speed)... I have connected the main wire to the battery and the warninglight ot the flat connector.

Have I connected it wrong or is this a sign of that the internal regulator is broken?

You have it wired correctly.
Does the dash light come on when key is first turned and then goes out after engine starts (normal)?

If it does, I would say the regulator is faulty. Call the vendor? Maybe they would send you a replacement regulator module.
