For those who replaced the voltage regulator
You said it got hot when the battery was overcharging right? I'd expect that to damage the battery.mhowever there's also been cases of a regulator drawing the battery down. If you can get a good battery in there and measure current draw you'll have a better idea as to what's going on IMO.

ignition switches can cause a myriad of issues, and on-top of that are a common failure point in these cars...good maintenance item that might also solve some of your issues.
Durametric to start and dealer if no results..

+1, and I wonder if the alternator is stuck on...

I don't have a diametric. Is there an link anywhere to the one I would need?
Will just the enthusiast kit work and use it with my pc?
Sorry, but I like to know exactly what caused a problem and what fixed it. Throwing parts and money at a car is a common repair tactic (even at dealers) that makes me sick.
If you want to replace the switch as a maintenance item, do it once the car is back up and running.
Not yet. Pelican parts is not the fastest shippers. After 3 days it's still in California
Despite this I would not replace the ignition switch at this point. Get the charging system fixed and go from there. If the ignition switch caused absolutely no probs before the alternator issues, it is one of the items that will def not be affected by overcharging.
