After replacing the voltage regulator and putting the long wire through the protective sleeve, I noticed another small size wire coming out of the sleeve and ending at about the level of the quick disconnect for the regulator.This wire had a bare end ,but can not see where it came from.everything seems to work ok.----also the new regulator has different mounting holes that have to be drilled in the mounting plate, no big deal,but when the rubber mounting bolts have been over torqued from the factory it breaks the bolt loose from the rubber and you can't take the nut off with out cutting them out of the rubber. these are the same rubber mounts on the exhaust, same problem.
