Anyway, Jim, there should be nothing inbetween the regulator and the breaker but the regulator wire. I don't know what a post under the coil is supposed to be, but I don't think the MoCo put it there. The wire from the regulator goes to the breaker with no stops inbetween.

So, if you figured it out, tell us: What was the exact problem?
