My son reports that his 1988 744t is intermittently pushing the voltmeter into the red on the gauge. When this happens it is accompanied by a "whirring" sound.

In a defensive move he switched on the rear defroster and the headlights which drops the needle out the red.

The battery is only a month old. My first thought is to replace the regulator/brush assembly. Seem like a plan that might be successful?

Thanks,
Randy
