it is not charging and then starts charging.
which is odd.
you replaced the regulator with a new one? and same symptom?

problem is pretty consistant?

maybe a wiring problem. it is odd.
where are you reading the voltage?

My volt meter is permanently mounted so as to read off of the fuse block. Yesterday I monkeyed about, and may have found the voltage leak. The driver's door switch controls the interior light and the "key left in" buzzer. I replaced this switch with a "new" old switch, but have never had the buzzer work, except when I short across two of the leads at the switch. I think that the reason the buzzer hasn't worked is that the tab on the ignition plug is broken off, so that the contact which "closes" by the key being left in the ignition never makes closure (no male going into the female connector). I hope that this is the issue, as I have now de-energized the buzzer circuit in its entirety to see if the leakage of electrons which appears to be an "overnight" phenomenon is corrected now.
Yes, new voltage regulator and generator have been installed, and problem did persist after that. I will email further once I have had time today to re-evaluate this fix.
