Not saying this is surely the case with a modern MOSFET one, but don't risk it.
To me, it sounds like the regrec is dead on arrival. But check the output voltage direct at the regrec just in case, there is a big live connection in the loom that can rot out, and also the main fuse holders and connection are pretty weak, they have been known to get hot and burn out... but I suspect this would manifest in other gremlins.

can't see any rotting so I suspect you are correct with the regrec DOA. Please see my response to seeker.
