So I got the whole alternator rebuilt (no new ones available nearby) and that solved the problem.

Sorry about getting things a little confusing here, but, contrary to a previous message, I just want to tell my problem IS NOT resolved.
We've had pretty cold weather recently (-20°C) and just about 1/2 hour ago, the car didn't start following some 48h left alone. The battery was totally dead, the starter motor did not even try to turn 1/8 of a turn. Just a painful little click!
I had left this issue to a local Indy just before Christmas and it now seems I will need to dig into this issue myself: I have realized I now have daylights not working at all??? Plus the dashboard has the "Failed lightbulb" reminded turned on while ALL lights are ok on the car (license plate bulbs and all corner markers triple checked and ok)...
So I'll redo my homeworks and, as usual, will post my findings.
Question: Where is the light control module located on a 1992 W124?
FWIW, I'll just remind everyone here that I had my car repainted completely in October and I have had numerous electrical gremlins since then. There was welding done on the driver door and on the driver's "A pillar".
By for now,
