<VV> regulator messing up

[Charles Birchwood]

i'll check all the contacts to make sure they're all secure and not frayed. the 
only thing I did under the cover of the regulator was check all the gaps with 
feeler gauges to make sure they were within operating ranges. I used fine grit 
220 sandpaper on the contact and blew their out with air.

Subject: regulator messing up

 most likely, "owner messing up" a contact in the plug by unplugging it -- check 
for a broken wire where it is crimped into the terminal, or a broken spring 
blade in the terminal itself.  when you reinstalled the plug, did one of the 
terminals "back out", or did they all plug in?  Since you didn't really "do" 
anything to the regulator, why did you pull the cover off?  Or, did you "do" 
something under the cover besides look?

what else did you do while you were cleaning?

now you don't say "how" you cleaned the contacts --did you wire brush something 
you shouldn't have on the bottom of the regulator?  did you leave a small piece 
of broken wire brush to short something out? did you use aerosol chemicals that 
dissolved an insulator somewhere?

Did you learn, "When it ain't broke, don't "fix" it!"  ??   sorry ...
