Using a 12 gauge wire with alligator clips on each end, clamp one end of the wire to a known good ground, preferably the negative battery terminal, but any good ground will do. Clamp the other alligator clip to the metal housing of the voltage regulator (assuming you have an external VR). Make it on a clean clamp location, not one on a painted surface. Then see if the bouncing disappears. If it does, replace the temp line with a nice permanent ground wire.
