The White/Red wire from the regulator doesn't go to the ignition. It goes to one side of the Red charge light.

 

The White/Blue goes to the ignition switched side of the fuse box. If that helps.

13 amps? you mean volts? if theats the case thats not enough to keep the battery charged and this is the wrong section for this post
