Electrical problem

[tyrone27 at gmail.com (Derrick floyd)]

ok guys.  I tested the voltage and its 11Vand dropping with the car
running.  So I replaced the voltage regulator and its the same thing.  When
I turn on the ignition the battery light never comes on.  I even grounded
the blue wire and still no battery light.
