Battery is discharging August 09, 2010, 08:44:29 PM This is my 88TC. If I dont drive it everyday, the battery drains. The battery is good, and I just had the alternator tested and the voltage regulator is bad. Will the diodes in there cause the battery to discharge? Quote Selected

I have a couple used alts for 87-88 TC if you need one.even for internal regulators.i started my paracitic draw testing right at the solenoid, found out with my bulb that the alt feed was still lighting up the bulb with no key in.this was on a EECIV / TFI FI 1990 ford bronco 351w with 5speed.
