Disconnect the ground control field wire (usually green) from the alternator terminal, if it stops overcharging the wiring is the problem. Check the control wire for a short to ground between the alternator and regulator.

If it still overcharges with the wire off there is an internal short to ground.



OK, John - I disconnected the green field wire from the alternator and the overcharging stops. The charging stops all together. So, do you think the short is somewhere between the alternator and the V regulator? thanks
