Subject:      Blowing Voltage Regulator For Guages
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

A friend's 83 water cooled Vanagon has trouble with the dash guage voltage
regulator.  Intermittantly when starting, the regulator blows and guages are
thus dead.  Grounds have been checked and cleaned.  An additional ground has
been installed from the starter to the body.  He is considering putting a
ground wire from the starter to the battery.  Any ideas?
