Ok... I hate electrical problems as much as the next guy.
Just wondering if anyone has had this problem.
I had noticed a discharge on my amp meter recently. While out driving I lost power to my radio. Made me think... Hmmm... this is a really old radio anyway, so I replaced my 80-ish cassette radio with a new CD player.
I played it for about 1/2 hour (not on ACC.) No problems.
Started the truck and within about a minute the fuse panel got really hot and I smoked a wire. Not even the radio wire.
Could a voltage regulator cause this?
It had a slight discharge at idle but came up close to normal at operating RPM.
