I have developed a constant battery drain problem on a stock 6 volt positive ground system. I have checked across the solenoid with a meter, seems good. Disconnected power lead to instrument panel, no effect. I am thinking voltage regulator is incorrect for car. Prior owner replaced it, it is new, but blue in color. I looked in a couple of T-bird catalogs, and it appears the blue cover designates 12 volt unit. Don't know how to check this. I vaguely remember that voltage regulators can cause battery drain, but can't remember how to test. Yes, I am older than the car! Any suggestions?
