Remove the round cover off the regulator and inspect carefully to see if something is cooked in there. Maybe the generator terminal was shorted to ground in there. The insulator washers both inside and outside the cover are very hard to position correctly on the terminal screws and could have been a problem if someone has removed the cover before. The cover is not meant to be removed by the user. Fun Projects Co. has changed hands in the last year. Regards, Kevin.

Thanks Kevin , yes I know to be careful with insulators & housing. Had been great for 4 years, I have always kept charge rate low & set it where it slightly discharged with lights on as I do not do too much night driving in her.
I will call Fun products to see how to test. Thanks for all the help!!
Cheers
Tony
