7.

If the regulator/rectifier fails any one of these tests, replace it with a new one.

8.

Check the D.C. amperage output of the regulator/rec-
tifier using a an Ammeter of sufficient capacity or a
D.C. Shunt tool and a volt meter set to read on the
millivolt scale, as described in the TOOLS section of
this chapter.

9.

If the regulator/rectifier passes all of these tests, but
the battery is not charging, check the circuit between
the regulator/rectifier D.C. output (B+) terminal and
the battery positive post for voltage for a voltage
drop. See Figure 7.28.

The harness connector, the 20A fuse, and the
hot post on the starter solenoid all lie between
the regulator/rectifier and the battery.
