I first measured the resistance of d+ when disconnected from the generator, with the black lead to GND. In this case DF was connected to the generator. I got 10-11 ohms. Was that right? Or wrong? On my new VR, I just measured with one lead at D+ on the VR and the other at DF on the VR, and got 18 ohms. Was that the right way to measure it? Or wrong? Regardless, the guys who sold me this bum generator are sending me a new one free of charge, pending return of the crud one. So all's well enough. -- Mike Wodkowski 72 FI SQBK Brooklyn wodkowski@mac.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
