I just finished adding blocking diodes to my wiring harness for the alarm system. I taped up all the exposed wiring including the plastic part on the diode. Is this the correct way to do this? I have never used diodes so I don't know. My experience tells me that all exposed wiring that can ground should be securely taped. Thanks in advance.

Yes that is a good practice to get into, I usually use heat shrink tubing for all straight wire connections ( including resistors and diodes ) and use electrical tape for all "T" connections.

What type of diodes should be used? For instance, if a resistor & diode is being used for unlocking/ unarming on a single wire system there may not be enough voltage (0.7v) for the -ve trigger to allow the diode to "open the gate".?

You need to use 1 or 2 amp diodes. You can find them at Radio Shack. Brian
