A bad ground could have been causing = the problem,=20 but now you'll never know.
A bad or missing ground can cause = excessive voltage=20 drop giving the indications you had.

Subject: b&c regulator = update

Dear=20 subscribers,

 

Thanks for all the = comments on my=20 b&c regulator warning light issue (the warning light was always on = and=20 started to flash once the voltage = dropped).

 

After checking the = wiring the=20 5th time, sending the regulator to b&c for bench = testing=20 (checked out ok), experimenting with different light bulbs (including = an=20 original one), adding resistors between pin 3 + 5, trying a different = battery,=20 switching the wire back to the alternator from F1 to F2 the problem = did not go=20 away.

 

I ordered a new = regulator from=20 b&c (including light bulb) and replaced regulator and warning = light =96=20 everything works ok now =96 obviously the bench test of my original = regulator=20 did not simulate the situation in my airplane=20 correctly.

 

Anyway as a result of my = trouble=20 shooting process I have 2 new 12 V odyssey batteries left over now = (box is=20 still closed). If anyone is interested please let me=20 know.

 

Thanks

 

Ralf
