Last week I posted about a charging problem
after replacing the voltage regulator which
failed after a couple days. I now have a new
VR. Looking at both of the failed VR's it
looks like they are getting very hot. The
spring on the BAT side is black on both with
melted plastic. After puting in the new vr's
the amp meter was always showing a maximum
charge (30 amp) without ever dropping. I hate
to put in another one and have the same thing
happen. Is the constant charging causing the vr
to overheat and fail or did the vr fail to
operate properly? Are there other possible
causes for this other than a failed VR? Thanks
