John Deere GT275 with Kawaski FC540V
Orginal problem started with Battery light coming on and off intermitently. Fixed that just by touching rectifier connector and wires. Cleaned up connector and everything good. Then I noticed that the alternator wires at connector are really hot. Warm enough that you do not want to hold them. Measures ac at alternator and good at about 13.5 vac. Reglulator vlotage is also good at about 14vdc. I did test ground wire on regulator to ground and appears fine. Any idea what would cause alternator wires at regulator to be so hot. Not blowing any fuses. This is the John Deere that has the key switch mounted to a module board. Could it be just be the regulator is the problem?
