I "smoked" my second voltage regulator. When I turn on the ignition my regulator fries. This is the second one that I destroyed. I have checked the manuals and cannot find the reason. i think it has something to do with the resistance or wiring. Does anyone know where to start.

the only voltage to it should be the wire from the ballast resistor thats spliced into the "I" wire of reg.........i'd have to guess either 1 of the 2 field wires is shorted or a problem internally with the alternator. |

 It is fixed. The only thing I did was swap connections at the ballast resistor and it stopped frying requlators.Guess that was the cause. |

Try a one wire style alternator... you pull the plug on the original regulator, run a single wire from the alternator to the battery, and voila no worries. Been running a powermaster 200A one wire with no issues. |
