Diode
I have a 2001 TXT PDS and I replaced the solenoid a week ago and I have been looking over some posts on here and mine did not have a diode on the small posts. It has the resistor across the large posts but no diode across the small posts.
Can I buy a 1 amp diode at radio shack and install it? Thanks gang!! Mike |

Re: Diode
A 1a will probably work, but, a 3a is more commonly used.

Re: Diode
OK but it is nothing special right? Just a 3 amp diode from Radio Shack will work fine?
I am upgrading to a DCX400PDS tomorrow with a heavy duty solenoid and dont want to screw it all up. Thanks!! Mike |

Re: Diode
OK they don't stock that one. Dang it!!
I think I will try a 1N5402 unless anyone has any objections. Thanks for the help CG!! Mike |

Re: Diode
Give it a shot. Observe polarity (very very important). Silver stripe towards positive terminal.
