Hi all...I checked my charging voltage at the battery and it was high. It was almost 16.
So I went to install my spare and the regulator was very hot!! I've never noticed before because I never checked!! Should it be hot? I installed my spare and it allowed a charge rate of 13.4 but it also began to get hot. Hope my alternator isn't bad!! Cheers Mike |

If you're concerned it might be the relay board, then simply remove the VR off the board, disconnect the alternator harness off the board, and plug it directly into the VR. Plugs right in.
