All my electrical woes.

Reading the service manual it gave test of the voltage limiter by putting a lead on the temp sending unit, turning key to run and looking for fluctuating voltage. I did that and had 0.037 to 0.036 volts. Is that enough to indicate that my voltage limiter is OK? Troubleshooting guide in manual said to test voltage limiter, then look for open circuit on battery side of limiter. I will be unwrapping all the wires and looking for that. It is entirely possible I have another wire pinched or melted when the fusable link was smoking. Anything is possible with me and wiring.

I leave out of town today for work, will work on it a bit this morning and then may not get to it till mid week, but keep the ideas coming.

Thanks

That should be a 5 volt reading at the volt regulator.
Sounds like there is actually no power there except a little bleed back through the line.
