Isolate the yellow stator wire by removing it from the connector. Start the engine and check A/Cv on the yellow stator wire make sure the meter has a good engine ground to the black probe. It should be something over 12v. If it tests good then pull all the bulbs that come on with the engine and unplug the regulator and auto choke and remote start if equipped. Now do a continuity test to ground on ALL the bulb sockets including the ground wires. If you have lighted mirrors, check those too and the often missed license plate bulb. With everything disconnected you should NOT have continuity on anything but the grounds.
