yes... take the 3 leads off of the rectifier and using an ohm meter check for continuity between terminals one way them switch leads and check the other... one way will have continuity.. the other will not.. if the rectifier is shorted you may get continuity both ways or none at all no matter where you put the leads... another indication is usually ( but not always) a charging system problem.. check to see if your alternator is putting out the proper voltage..

A good run is better than a bad stand!
