It does not appear to be inside the cover of alternator I can only locate the brush's with some diodes built into the back of their housing. Could this be the AVR ?
The most common cause of portable generators failing to produce electricity is from the loss of residual magnetism.
Generators work by moving electrical conductors through a magnetic field. Your generator does not have magnets. The magnetic field is created by taking some of the generator output voltage and converting it to DC and feeding it to a coil to make an electromagnet.
When there is a small amount of magnetism left over from the last time the generator was running, it is called residual magnetism. The little bit of magnetism is enough to produce a small amount of electricity. This small amount of electricity is needed to create an even stronger electric magnet. As the engine turns this magnet moving its electric field, through the stator windings, your generator produces even more power.
When the residual magnetism is lost, the generator will produce no power at start-up. This residual magnetism can be lost naturally from not being used or from the load on your generator being connected when the generator is shut off. It can also happen from running a generator with no load for too long.
Generators need to work and it helps maintain that residual magnetism. When they are running, a load should be connected to it. It helps create an even stronger magnetic field. Before you shut it off, turn off the switch or breaker to disconnect the load. If you shut off a generator with the load connected, it can essentially drain or demagnetize the electromagnet. Try and avoid running out of fuel.
How to fix it:
There are a few methods of restoring a generator residual magnetism
12 Volt Generator Battery Method
Locate the voltage regulator for your generator.
Unplug the two wires that connect to the generator brushes. Normally one is red and the other is black or white.
Connect the black or white to the generator ground battery terminal.
Plug in a light, turn on the generator breaker or switch and start the motor.
Connect the battery +12 volts (red cable) to the red wire on the terminals you removed for three seconds.
Remove your wires and replace the plug. The generator should now be producing power again.

SOURCE: trying to find location of blower on 2002 chrysler
under the glove box,pull out plastic push pin holding plastic duct work and remove duct piece,three screws holding blower motor cover,remove them,then disconnect blower motor wires at connector,remove three screws holding motor up in place.
watch the mice don't fall on you!

need more specifics.what diode?that is a very unusual question.are u asking about alternator problem.need more info to help u.

The horn relay is inside the glove box. There are 3 relays in there. They are the horn, fuel pump, and daytime running lights (in that order from left to right)
