you can add a mix of baking soda + water or diet coke. anyways the diodes cannot be changed on the alternator. you need to buy the whole assembly which is called the rectifier. it holds the diodes. this is also what cause the flickering of the dash when at idle. if i was you i would try to find a wrecked s2k instead of buying a brand new alternator. there expensive....

 

There's a place in mesquite I got my refurbed alternator and it worked great, it was around 150 + core? I can't remember exactly but it was around that much.

Is their website and they offer a 2yr warranty w/ the alternator so I would suggest you try them if after you test voltage and the new alternator you got is dead.

 

well bad news. Found out that a module behind the dash was fried and some wires. Forgot the name to it but he was telling me that its sent out to some power or something. ill give more detail tomroow. so now i got to get them replace plus labor......costed almost 1k. They had another ap1 not too long ago had the same problem.

 

^ damm, didnt you just bought S? sorry to hear that. But pic would help man.

 

yea i just bought it. it was nothing i could've checked or looked at when i bought it right? I had it for maybe 2 months now talk about my luck. Yea ill find out what it is. The guy at AES told me that its something that happens to the S2000. and i asked if there was a recall or something, But its not that big enough where they get a recall. I was trying to save up for some wheels. looks like its going to delay me.

 

mulitplex control unit and the harness and connectors have to be replaced. wth is that and how did that go bad.

 

^how does this go baddd
