Title: Installing a diode Post by: Dave_EH on July 19, 2006, 04:50:10 AM I have just wired a relay to my ignition wire to utilise 12 volts on my electronic dizzy.
I cannot switch the motor off using the key now. I have been told that the wire from the alternator to gen warning lamp runs enough voltage to hold the relay open and causes this problem. The remedy is to fit a diode to the genwarning lamp wire. Could someone please assist me with some more indepth instructions on how to perform this task> Cheers Dave Title: Re: Installing a diode Post by: Ed on July 19, 2006, 04:59:15 AM grab a diode, which only allows current flow in one direction.
solder it in place in the desired position, put heat shrink over the soldered joints. test out its polarity using a test light or multi meter. easy? Ed |
