Default Sitting here with my bentley i thought i'd take a peak at the electrical system for my car

what happened to my car is impossible. Well according to the bentley. Even with the 24v charge..If you go to page Y621 in the bentley is shows a voltage regulator at position C1. This is wired in such a way that even with the key in the accessory position it should be able to stop the cahrge. Or get fried and stop the charge. Both the A17 and A86 circuit are forced to go through this voltage regulator.

Could anyone explain how it's possible that a golf cart at 24v would be able to fry my car? specifically how the charge would be sent through to the whole system.. here is a picture of the receipt

now the thing that gets me is simple... why would wires be rubbed through?

anyways back to bentley... am i wrong? Am i seeing something that isn't there? The car should not have failed to the extent it did. The relays/fuses maybe.. but that's at most. The car should not have allowed the charge through the system according to that diagram.

Default Do you have the old voltage regulator? IMHO it's the only way of conforming what you wrote

is checking the voltage regulator... Electrical components tend to fail in weird ways.
