[DeTomaso] Not Starting-Check Battery

Most of the Pantera owners on this site probably know this but I am only
modestly mechanically inclined. I went to start and instead had a loud
clicking noise. My first thought was a bad starter relay but I had enough
sense to check the battery which tested at 11.4V. The parts store manager
told me the battery usually needs to be fully charged for the relay to
engaged. Turns out he was right. I charged the battery and it started fine.
Since my generator light was not coming on I now assume I need a new voltage
regulator.
