Are you sure about that?

Answer #1: I don't really know, but it seemed like the easiest "first diagnostic" to get out of the way. It was one more piece of data to have in any case.


Answer #2: That's exactly how it came out of both of mine. About what should I be unsure? Jack up car... get under it... take two screws out of regulator where it sticks into the back of the alternator... remove it... that's how mine came out of our 240 and our 300SDL. Did I miss a different design? Sorry if so.
