-----Original Message----- From: Lew Hodgett With today's electronic regulators, sounds like it may be shorted to force full field current which will boil battery.
Lew REPLY I had to replace a bad regulator in our Ford truck. The replacement had a positive temp coefficient. As the under hood temperature climbs so does the voltage setpoint. Saw it go to 15.6V on a hot day. I complained to the supplier and was told they are supposed to do that. . . . HUH??? They refused to replace it. I suspect I got a grey market chinese clone product but can't prove it. Box was printed FORD but that doesn't mean anything these days. Since all of them are potted in epoxy I can't tell or even attempt a repair. I guess I can keep buying regulators until I find one that works correctly. Now with the old Ford that had an external regulator I could at least have installed an after market unit that I trusted. Arild
