Sometimes the diodes are in a cluster looking like a relay and located in the relay area. Sometimes there are individual ones like this: Without a wiring diagram, locating the problem will be difficult. Do you have a wiring diagram you could post? Any damage to the alternator would not create a dead electrical system Dave M7040

I need to know more specifics. For example 3 or 4 cylinder engine. Cab or no cab If you have already solved your problem plse advise so my energies can be directed elsewhere In my earlier post I made mention of Diode packs. This is where the two are located. Dave M
