(14401) has a ground connection for the alternator voltage regulator that is retained by a screw (N801846-S36MG). The location of the ground
connection is on the component platform in the right-hand side of the engine compartment (Figure 27). A loose or missing screw may cause the voltage
regulator to fail resulting in two potential concerns: (1) battery overcharge with the engine running, and (2) battery discharge with the engine off.

Prior to delivery of the vehicle, check the ground screw on the component platform for proper tightness, retorque to 3-4 ft.lbs. (4.0-5.6 N-m), if
necessary.
