Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the quick response!

I just measured from the regulator input spade to ground and got an open
circuit (over a mega-ohm) to ground. When I plugged in the output wire and
field supply wires (big brown and small brown/yellow) I measured 70 Ohms from
regulator input to ground. Kind of strange I think. Maybe I'll just pull the
cover off and see what there is to see.
