1992 520H over charging

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone.  My 520 with Onan P220 just started overcharging.  It used to run between 13.5 to 14 volts all the time.  Just began burying the gauge at 16 or higher.  My first thought was rectifier/regulator is sticking.  I tapped on it and there was no change.  Any other thoughts on things to try?  Thank you.

Your regulator is grounded thru the mounting bolt, make sure that it makes a good electrical connection there.

Reg/rec is all solid state, tapping on it won't do much. My guess is a bad ground to the body of the reg/rec, or that the reg/rec is bad. Before you order a reg/rec though check your voltage with a multi meter, could be that your volt gauge is bad.
