Re: Electrical Component Question for 502. Anybody Know?
It is definetly a 3 amp diode and it sole purpose is to change the alternating current from the alternator to a direct current. This function is only needed to charge the battery if there even is one. If no battery is present, the rest of the electrical circuit is purely resistive and need not be re...
