Hello all,
The 2 year old regulator is starting to become intermittent (mostly on the inop side!). I tested the generator output and it is stable at about 13 volts, and I show only battery voltage on the regulator output terminal. The other night driving home it was inop (with headlights) until about halfway there it started working and charged until I decelerated for a turn and it quit after that. I thought that maybe it was voltage related, but it sometimes works with a charged battery, and sometimes it does not.
My question is what can I check/test inside the unit and get it working again before I buy another. It could be it has been doing it for a while, but didn’t notice it until the days got shorter and I’ve had to drive in the dark.

Thanks, Lee.
