Luci melted a wire going to the rectifier a few weeks ago. I got a rectifier and harness lead from GoldenChild, cut out the old, and soldered in the new. Everything seems to check out fine. I was not able to determine the reason for the meltdown. I'm assuming the old failing battery was causing more current to be pulled through the rectifier to keep everything powered. Or maybe 7 years and ~90,000 miles was all the old rectifier could stand.
