No everything was on i think loose wire somewhere or pin connection this was different like i said all the volts and amps were good light would not

go out even when i turned everything off. only when i shut down and restarted then light went out and did not come back on.

Wait see if this happens again.

I used two small nylon ties at each end of the regulator connector to secure this to the regulator.  Think I might have had to drill two small holes in the nylon female on the regulator to accept the ties.  Before using the ties, the connector would occasionally become partially dislodged from the regulator. Doesn't happen anymore. I also "tweaked" the small tabs which come out from the individual blade connectors to keep these secured to the male connector.  No more worries about loosing connections at the regulator.  Might have a picture of his somewhere.

What many don't realize is that the regulator plug almost takes two hands to FULLY push the plug into the receptacle and if the connections inside the plug are not properly clicked into place then when you push it on the connector pushes back and many times you can't quite tell. You really need to squeeze this plug in hard and it will seat. Then pull on the individual wires to make sure all the connections did in fact push together and not partially back out.The two clips on each end should prevent the plug from backing out  If a wire connector does partially back out and depending on which wire this will cause arching between the two contacts and possible ruin the reg. and at the very least give you some electrical issues.
