During my cars reserection .With the battery charged ,car started . Voltmeter showed it was chargeing.After sitting for a day low battery ( if I left the master switch on). Turns out I used a cross between the wiring diagram with indicater light and without.I changed a couple of wires and It blew the voltage regulater when I first turned the ignition switch. I questioned the alternater shop and he insisted that the wiring I had just arranged was correct .He went to show me with the new regulater I had just bought .Turns out it was bad. A third voltage regulater and I was in bussiness.The car charged as before but the discharge quit.
