Good morning all, can someone please explain how this happens. That's the voltage regulator that left me stranded. When I got home the battery was dead. Battery is only 2 days old.
IDK what we lookin at...but as an assumption (dangerous) I thought there were 3 Wires on regulator...one being rectified and regulated DC out to battery...the other 2, are AC in from Stator!!
Last I knew AC was as sensitive one way as the other...meaning high current at one was also high current at the other..
So...By My Thinkin... either the wiring on one side was physically damaged, touching ground...or something else external got very hot indeed...
I doubt anything to do with the DC side....which I assume (there I go again) is the lead on the far right...
I would be suspicious of a bad connection at the rubber boot connection point where the regulator wires plug into the stator at the engine block. That is the first place I would look. YD
