Hi Paul,
That is the common failure mode for that connection. I am not sure that the
black connector block adds anything to the security of the installation. It
is an easy way to connect all of the regulator wires in one go but it masks
the physical state of the spade terminals. I always check that each
individual terminal is secure after installation. In my current new build I
am considering leaving the black plastic bit off and simply protecting each
individual terminal with heat shrink insulation. This would enable a good
physical inspection of each terminal during routine checks.

--> <europaul383@hotmail.com>
Has anybody seen this voltage regulator connection issue? One of the yellow
generator connectors has clearly got hot and is too close to its slot in the
plug.
It's definitely melted, not vibration or mechanical abrasion and looks like
it's simply too close to the edge of its slot in the plug.
How to avoid re-occurrence?

Many thanks in advance,
