Electrical shutdown on highway

<< < (2/3) > >>

David T. Richelderfer:
Jose - As noted in the thread to which I directed you, there is a diode on the face of the solenoid. They are cheap - got mine at Radio Shack - but it's important to install that diode in the proper direction, as seen in Joel's photo.  Many here on this Forum recommend getting the solid-state solenoid to replace the mechanical Cole-Hersee solenoid.  It costs substantially more but, I guess, lasts indefinitely.

Jose Rita:
Yes thank you.  I needed something quick to get it road ready.  Now I can make my appointment to get the thrust angle corrected.  I will look at the solid state solenoids.

Fred Brooks:
  In case you haven't purchased one yet, this is what you are looking for.

Jose Rita:
Thank you.  I was able to get one from Napa, 85 amp cont duty.  I will as has been suggested look into a solid state relay.

Joel Ashley:
If you don't decide to go the expense of an electronic one, consider carrying a spare 24059BX.  ;)

And be sure you replace the diode with its gray stripe on your left, as David previously mentioned.
