All,

I and many others on the LML = certainly appreciate the recommendations and advice that comes from this = site. Thank you!

My regulator = is mounted under the glare shield and was produced after 2000 which = makes it the most up-to-date for its model number. It has not yet = been tested.

Besides the = many great suggestions from all of you, I have talked with Terry Norris = Sr. from Aircarft Systems and Bill Bainbridge from B & C. They = also suggest that it may be corrosion or a loose connection in a crimped = terminal or connector. Also a devise if not already installed (it = is, between the motor and relays) to prevent back EMF. In the next = couple of days I will go out to inspect, remove and clean as necessary = the connnectors in the system.

Also a note = of interest was that if I cross-tie my second battery when operating the = gear, the field circuit breaker would not trip. It only trips when = operating on the single battery. It is a two battery system = and has operated on a single battery for years with no = problem.
