Howard,
To check continuity I pulled the instrument panel. Boy I'd sure done a good job of holding it place. I have continuity and everything is nice and tight back there. Now to re-fasten it.
I did the polarization thing and it didn't charge. I started through the manual again.
1. I checked to be sure the regulator and generator were well grounded. That they were.
2. I repeated the Field to Ground test, setting up the mirror. This time CHARGE! So the polarization fixed that and the generator is good.
3. Have to see what's next. But now the focus is on the regulator.
Thanks again for excellent guidance. (The picture shows no charge because too many things to coordinate, plus you're only supposed to touch ground briefly.)
