The thing that dies on these is the wire-wound resistor that you can 
see from the underside. They go open and then the regulator points 
inside burn out. You can check the resistor with an Ohmmeter, but 
you have to open up the box and lift one of the relay contacts in 
order to get a good measurement; otherwise that contact just 
shorts around the resistor.
