1992 GTS Charging Issue

[polo35]

Hello all. I have a 1992 GTS that has been running like a sewing maching all summer....But last weekend It drained the battery. I have verified that there is NO output charging the battery...even when I rev it up to 4000-5000 rpm. I have checked 5a and 15 a fuses and battery ground connection..no change. Any ideas or theories would be appreciated.....P.S. when I replaced battery at the start of summer, I had good charge output...now suddenly zero. Thanks in advance.

My guess is the rectifier is going bad.

Thanks...that is my my thought as well, but the forum speaks of there being 2"module relays" and to switch their position to test..however my electrical box doesen't seem to have these 2 relays....there are only 2 fuses on the electronic module? Strange, because the shop manual shows the 2 relays. Any thoughts appreciated. Otherwise i'm going to start changing parts..argh!

Sorry...scratch the part about the 2 relays....looks like in late 92-early 93 they stoped using the 2 relays...guess i will try replacing the rectifier.

My bet is the Reg/Rec
