63 Notch, basically stock For some time now my wipers have been very slow if I tried to use them and my lights at the same time. Lately, I have had a few mornings where my battery hasn't had enough juice to get my car going started. The battery itself is only a year old. I am trying to test my no-load voltage according to instructions in my books. They are as follows: Disconnect lead from terminal B+ of regulator. Connect a voltmeter between B+ and ground. Start engine, take readings. When I disconnect the wires at terminal B+ on my regulator I don't even have an interior light anymore. No power anywhere and certainly nothing when I turn the key. Am I doing this incorrectly? The regulator in my car when I bought it was a 6V Bosch that I believe was from a type 1. There is electrical tape and evidence of messing around in there but for a couple of years it was fine with this arrangement. I have replaced the regulator with an identical NOS Bosch unit but that didn't change anything. All suggestions are appreciated!
