Hi = Wolfgang,

But I agree I really would like to = know where the problem was coming from.

Great, you fixed the problem = !

A bad ground could have been causing the problem, but = now you'll never know.

A bad or missing ground can cause excessive voltage = drop giving the indications you had.

Subject: b&c = regulator update

 

Dear subscribers,

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Thanks

 

Ralf
