Steveoz sent me his alternator so I could see if I could revive it, I was successful, If your windings look good like in the first picture, it can probably be fixed with this method. I found an 8 pin regulator chip that requires no additional parts, except for a 1000 ohm resistor that needs to be put in line with the alternator plug, red wire only, the white wire should be disconnected. The housing for the original regulator has an embedded wire that needed to be cut, so I drilled into the housing and ground it in two with a dremel tool. The original regulator had 3 auxiliary diodes that the new regulator doesn't need and they were already fried anyway, just had to replace one with a piece of wire, as per the design.The red wire of the alternator plug supplies the alternator with the start up power when the key is on, but needs a resistor to limit the power in and prevent feed back which could possibly provide enough power to keep the engine running. The white wire carries a signal to computer- ( I think that's what it's for )
but because I do not know for sure, I recommend disconnecting it using the method shown in the pictures. The dash warning light seems to be powered by the computer and goes out when the alternator is putting out voltage, once it is running, the plug can be disconnected and it will keep working and the light will stay out.
The chip is a L9911M and I bought 3 of them from Digikey Electronics http://www.digikey.com/ for $10.96 each + tax and shipping. I did a photo journal about it if you want to do it your self or you can ask me to do it for you. This is the first of about 20 photos.
