Note there were several entries that listed "About 15K" etc.. With these there were two possible categories, so I split them between categories as evenly as possible.

Seems to me, IF you have a 1994 and have between 10K & 20K miles You are more likely to have a Regulator failure, but equal possible failure of High voltage or Low voltage.
