[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 440755, member: 18789"] A diode is basically a check valve. Lets current go one way but not the other. If the diode was not there, the way it’s wired would pop the fuse immediately because the current would short straight to ground. The diode stops that from happening. But the diode probably stopped working as a check valve and might be shorting the circuit now. If you’re going to use JeepAir then the green wire won’t matter. [/QUOTE]
