Did another long freeway drive on my daily late 235 a couple of days ago.

When I arrived at my destination I noticed the generator made grinding noises and was very hot.
The battery was still charging at this point.

On my trip back the gerenator must have died, as the battery stopped charging.

The next day I replaced the old burned out generator and installed a spare remanufactured generator.

The battery still wouldn't charge, so I replaced the regulator as well with a new one, which was polarized briefly as per instructions.

Still no charging..... :confused:

When I power the generator, it spins, so it looks like it's working.
When I take a dc voltage reading of the battery, it just doesn't charge with increased rpm...

I have the manual, but can't seem to find the problem.
Are there any simple test with a meter, I can do to trace the problem...?
