The original ones work until they don't. They are just a relay. If it stops working the prevalent problem is the ground wire has become unsoldered.

Same with the ones with a diode, they too work until they don't but the difference is that the diode will need to be replaced. (easier to replace the whole thing).

The regulator "cutout" is made by fun projects and you MUST follow the instructions EXACTLY for it to work and continue to work as designed so that the generator will put out more as the car needs it.
