How do you wire in a diode? For arguements sake, ifyour door locks require a diode, how exactly do you wire them in?? Splice the lead from the alarm and twist/solder them toghther then twist/solder the other side of the diode onto the vehicles lock or unlock wire?

Sorr for such a silly question but I havenever done this before.

Thanks as always,
Brian

We use barrel conectors for diodes and resistors....

I solder all my diodes and resitors.

I use shrink tube and double up my wire for streangth.

So it is just the wire spliced and soldered to each end of the resistor or diode! Ok great. What is a barrel connector? Isit the same as a butt connector?

Thanks,
Brian
