hi there
I have fitted new regulator was working well for 10 minutes charging 14.2 volts at 2500 rpm battery light off
But after 10 minutes volts went down to 11.7 volts battery light on
I cleaned all contact points on battery terminals
Cleaned the earth contacts
Checked with multi meter all 3 wires on plug puting out around same as battery
I checked the new regulator fitted in plug the brushes were around same as battery 0.5 v lower
But i done same to old regulator brushes were only 1.55 v and 3.2 volts
Is this a way to test if your regulator is stuffed?????
But i have no idea why the new regulator isn't charging????
Fusible link??? but power is getting to back of alternator.. Do i still need to check this??
Anything eles i could check???
Please help any comments more than welcome
Thanks in advance
