New alternator needed. Diode gone inside it.

Or open the alternator and replace the diode pack.

Aye!!
If you pull the thin wire off the the alternator the light should go out and as rubythursday said..............new alternator needed.

tiz an easy job to replace the diode pack and/or the regulator - hour or two at the most, including cleaning it.

so it is the alternator didoe or replace the alternator right easy enough but does this affect the rev counter too???
