Reply to "Seeking advice on how to test the Voltage Regulator"

rockyMember

I had a bad regulator, and all of a sudden my lights got REALLY bright, and my in- the-car volt meter was showing 16.5 VDC.

The plug-in regulators (the solid state ones, with the silver cover) are so cheap ($20, just a guess) that this is a case where you might want to buy one and swap it, and see if it makes a difference.

Get one of the volt gauges that plugs into your cigarette lighter (another $8) to monitor the voltage easily while you are driving.
