The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Re: What did you get done on your 'Bolt today?

Noticed my ammeter was showing charge for much longer than usual when at speed and also staying at discharge much longer when at idle.
I pulled over popped the hood and saw nothing to jump out at me so I tapped the regulator and saw where it deflected back to nearly "0" from almost max discharge so I figured I'd have to address it back at the shop.
Pulled the regulator, cleaned all the contacts and found where one of the 2 cutoff relay contacts wasn't making and the other was pitted. So I bent it just enough to make and used a burnishing file to dress them up. Air gaps were good.

My test drive today and tonight with the lights on showed normal charging system operation. I figure the one working cutoff relay contact must have been sticking because it was handling all the load.
