5 weeks ago generator gave out. Hadn't noticed the light come on initially. Maybe it didn't. Battery is newish and it cranked slower and slower. Pulled and charged battery. Car started right up, but then noticed generator light glowing brightly. Pulled generator and check brushes - I had replaced these when I rebuilt motor less than 10K ago. Looked great. cleaned up commutator. Reinstalled and still that bright red light. Swapped in a spare. Light out, and things were fine for three weeks, and now the light is back on brightly again. Other than regulator (I have a new one but and loathe to install until I know what's the source of this problem) what else might be wrong?
Anybody know the right answer?
Grounds are good. wire connectors clean and good.

thanks
