hey 24 volters lol

anyway, my remote starter requires a 180 ohm resistor, but has no mention of amperage required.

does it matter ?

In hours of searching i found lots of 8, 20, 100, 500 and thousands of them. These things are cheap !!

I need just one piece.

i found a 8 pack for 3.00 on fleabay of 180 ohm / 180R - 1 watt / 1W - 5% - Carbon Film Resistors (8 Pieces)

will these be sufficient or should i order something else ?

in which direction should these be orientated, does it matter ?

or is someone around NE ohio that wants to sell me just one.

thanks

chris

Without knowing what kind of vehicle you are driving we will have to guess. 1/4 watt devices work in all applications I have encountered.

sorry, 2014 chev sonic.

this will go onto the clutch yellow wire.

I bought the 1 amp ones without finding anything about which would be beteer, also they came in the 8 pack, not the 100 pack.

i will never use these again i don't think.

will the 1 amp work ok, and does the orientation matter ? If so, which way ?

thanks for the quick reply.

Chris

It does matter which way a diode is inserted. Exactly what are the instructions about the diode and the resistor?
