i dont disagree bob, items up or down stream can mask a problem.
ive followed onan diagnostic procedures removing the load and checking for grounds/shorts...problem persists.

i picked up the part last night and have the generator torn apart enough that i think i can get to the old board (its under the air intake in the back of the unit - UGH).

the generator has 2000 hrs on it - and is a 2004...so its no spring chicken....stuff happens.

i cant get it into cummins for a week and they want a minimum of 2 hours diagnostic fee (even if they took 15 minutes to find it)....which adds another 300 bucks or so to the repair....ive got a parts guy to agree to take the board back if it doesnt resolve the problem (mostly cause their is some question about the part number)....but shhhhs dont tell anyone.
