hi guys n gals
posted up a few days ago about my rev counter giving out half readngs, some decent fella sent me a piccy, so i got the diodes
they were 1N4004
i wired em in to the car today and it just seemed to short out the car![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
had to go back to hoe it was
are these diodes 'on way current' jobbies? is there a correct way round to have them? there is a white band on the end of the diode, which end should i connect this to? coming from the coil,,or the other end?
help would really be appreciated guys, i got stuck in soton for 45 mins cos of this lmao, though it would be a 5 min job!

cheers guys... but whats the difference!!!!
as i said, on the diode there was a white band at one end, will this attach to the current coming off the coild? or should it be at the revcounter end?
thanks for the help
