Generator issues
When I baught the car the gen light was on. I asked the seller what the issue was and he said the voltage regulator. I replaced the regulator and light went off and ran good. Turned the car off and the generator was smoking I thought maybe it was rebuilt and just some lubricant was causing the smoke. But it smelled funky. I disconnected the battery and herd an arc. Touched the battery cable back to the battery and it arched again. Then I heard a click and no more orc or smoke. What happend?
