SUBJECT:
Adding diode to circuit after replacing voltage stabilizer
If the voltage stabilizer fails, add a 1N4006 diode (obtained locally) to the circuit when installing the new stabilizer.
^
solder diode lead (next to identification ring) to middle terminal (ground) of new voltage stabilizer
^
crimp 4 mm ring terminal to a 3-inch long 18-gauge wire
^
solder end of wire to other end of diode
^
cover wire and diode with an insulating sleeve
^
install voltage stabilizer but DO NOT connect center terminal of stabilizer to printed circuit foil
^
connect ring terminal to ground post of engine coolant gauge
