Woops, I said that wrong. a bad ALTERNATOR is possible. sorry for the
confusion.
> A bad regulator is possible. Normally the regulator controls the output

> possible that even though all the wires between the regulator and alternator
> are good, somehow they may not be in the correct location in the connectors.
> This could cause the alternator to put out too much.

> Good luck.
