But I'm confused why you changed the alternator to internal regulator if you just left your lights on? Seems like something else is going on?
I left my lights on and it killed the battery. The next day my battery was dead so I had the alternator tested. It failed. The parts store only had a 10si in stock so I installed that. Now it drains my battery over night. Not sure why. With the 1&2 plugs hooked on it drain .01 bolts every second. I unplugged the 1&2 and the drain stops. Could I install a diode in the key on wire to stop the draw?
