Voltage regulator fell off and shorted out?
Must have had a fuse with much too high a rating to melt the plastic of the holder, maybe wrapped in aluminium foil or even stuck a nail in...

2cv arriving with head light and charging problems. No wonder, regulator and multi plug burned, fuse box burned, some wires running to dash and head light bar burned, light switch burned. Looked in my ‘’original’’ English work manual for correct fuse sizes but nothing. Can anyone help please. The fuse box has 3 fuses only. I should add that it was not the common rubbing through on the air filter housing. What happened I don't know.

As its the blue circuit thats taken the hit thats: wiper motor,voltmeter,fuel guage,indicators and alternator field./voltage reg all the usual suspects then-but as Ken says the burnt Reg points to regulator on the crossbox symptoms and youll have another sparky moment if you keep putting your tools on top of the battery  (so many burnt spanners )

I was all for repairing it but I needs the car, in a rush and it was quicker. So that's what I did |
