[DeTomaso] charging problems

[mark skwarek]

I've cleaned all the wire ends and grounds. Made a new ground from regulator base to Alt. case.

I have 12 volts to the regulator (blue wire) when it is not connected to the regulator. When I connect it to the regulator the voltage drops to 1.9 volts. I suspect this is the problem area Solutions?

Mark, 

The regulator must be mounted (and thus electrically connected) to the 
metal chassis as this connection serves as the grounding point for the 
regulator. 

Tell me when and under what conditions did your system stop charging. 

Do have a voltmeter or the OEM ammeter? 

The main 
thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.
Do the best you can with what 
your have where you are.
Have fun today!
