hello all, i just made a loom for peterg60 on here and his rev counter doesnt work. i used this diagram: http://www.clubgti.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=214566 now i assumed i could fit the diodes any way as no-one mentioned that they had to be installed a particular way round, was this wrong? also toyotec mentions in a recent thread that the zener diode isnt actually required, is this true? these are the bits i bought: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290551300760 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250443210444
The Zener isn't required. However, the orientation of the other two diodes are very important as they are effectively likea a one way valve if you see what I mean. The thick white band on one end of the diode reffers to the line at the end of the triangle on the schematic diagram. Gurds
