If you all recall, I had lots of problems with my charging system on my
recent trip to Texas. I replaced two voltage regulators and sourced and
rebuilt a generator which failed instantly.
The third voltage regulator worked well with the original generator, until
yesterday.
Here is what is going on. I turned off the ignition and the amp meter
buried off the scale in the - and the ignition light came on. This is with
the key out of the switch. I quickly turned the ignition back on and started
the engine; amp meter came back to normal range. Now when I run the car,
the amp meter is indicating an over charge from the generator which is
obviously cause by the voltage regulator.
This is exactly what happened a couple of months ago before the voltage
regulator stopped working. Could a corroded engine ground strap be causing
this?
I am thinking of going with the solid state voltage regulator to see if that
fixes this ongoing problem. I do not what to convert to an alternator at
this time.
Any thoughts?
