My Ford 600 wasn't charging so I installed a new voltage regulator, seemed to be charging good. I ran it Saturday afternoon and now when I went out to start it, it was dead dead, nothing. I tried to jump it with another 6 volt battery and as soon as I hooked up the jumper cables, the amp meter showed full negative charge, and not enough juice to barely turn it over. I know the jumper battery is good as I jumped it with my 9N. I didn't want to leave it on too long with the full negative discharge, thought something could be shorted somewhere. Jumped it positive to positive and negative to neg. Could the 600 battery have a direct short or a bad cell, and did the VR go bad again? Thanks for all the help.
