Perhaps the new part was labelled wrong and it is really a 5V regulator? If the pinouts are the same as a 7812, why not try the 7812 just as a test to verify that is the problem or not. The original part might be rated higher in amps than a 7812, so it might be best to get another original if needed for permanent install. ******* ATTENTION, PLEASE ******** I have a new email address.
