Exclamation Blowing fuses

My 1966 pickup has been dealing with a fuse issue lately. The inline fuse from the alternator (new part, old one died) to the battery(also new). I trouble shooted everything, and replaced the voltage regulator (was also new). It also blew a fuse w/out the alternator/regulator hooked up... from a bad ignition switch connection. Now the battery is overcharged to 17-18 volts, and not blowing the fuse.

Re: Blowing fuses

Sometimes these new regulators can be faulty. I've found it best to convert to a one wire. I would check though and see if you have any shorts or major draws causing the high charging.

Re: Blowing fuses

The regulator was gone, but the electronic ignition also went out, as well as having a few bad connections.

Re: Blowing fuses

i second going to a GM 1 Wire this really is the best charging upgrade .. plus on another positive note . a 1 wire really cleans up a engine bay nice to because you dont need all those extra wires going to the regulator so you can just get rid of them
