The alternator on my series 2 330 kicked the bucket the other day. A quick trip to North Shore Auto Electric revealed that a brush holder had failed. The alternator was rebuilt. Now that it is reinstalled, my charging system still doesn't work. I removed the pos terminal on the battery while the engine was running. With a functional charging system this should have no effect. My engine died. I suspect that my voltage regulator was taken out by the alternator when it died. I intend to replace it but I can't tell where it is hiding. Does anyone know where I should start looking?
