I then connected the three white wires from the stator to the rectifier and measured the red and black coming out of the rectifier and the reading was around 1.8V. The battery showed 12.7V
Based on your suggestion it would seem I have a cable or connector failure between the rectifier and the battery. If it is a direct connection between the two I can run some temporary cables to bypass the existing cables and connectors. Can you confirm if this is the case?

Quote:I am sure this is as frustrating for you as it is for us, but... Final test... Engine off, with the regulator connected to the battery, can you measure the voltage at the battery, and the voltage on the red and black of the regulator (do not unplug it!). If these two voltages are not the same, then the regulator is not correctly connect to the battery, you can do a continuity test to see which cable broken. It is a direct connection and you can run temporary cables, but this might not fix your problem.
