I want both the "A" terminal feed and the "I" terminal feed to be switched power. Your indicator light is in series, possibly with a 15 ohm shunt, on one of those lines, but I wouldn't bet the farm as to which one.  But, I think as a test, if you just pull the "A" terminal off, with the key off, for a few minutes and see if the VR cool downs, then we know what the solution is if that works. Then we just tweak your wiring so the implementation of that solution is elegant. |

Well, quit goofing off.  Nothing is more important than fixing your Cobra.  |

OK, the weekend is now here, the inauguration is over, and it's time to tackle the wiring and fix it once and for all. I think it will be a quick fix.  |

OK, i got yet a third VR and the light works fine, the VR doesn't get hot, but the voltmeter, which used to show 14 or 14.1, now shows only about 13.5. A VOM across the battery terminals with the fan and lights on, shows about 13.5-13.6. I believe both alternators are 55A. Is this OK? thanx again. s
