bukrose -> Generator Keeps Failing (4/27/2005 1:36:39 PM)
|
I've got a '71 Beetle that I just bought. I drove it around the neighborhood of the sellar and everything looked good. 5 min into driving it home on the freeway the generator light came on. Afer some testing, I replaced both the generator and the voltage regulator. All instructions were followed closely including polarization steps for both units. Once complete the light went off. I ran the car for about 10 min before driving. When I did drive, about 5 min into my drive on the freeway, the light came on again. Now it's not charging again. I re-checked all the connections and did the polarizations steps again on both units. Still not charging. Could some other component outside of the charging system cause such behavior? The only thing I can think of to do next is to replace the generator and voltage regulator again. Anybody got any ideas before I ruin another generator?
Thanks,
Mike B.
