Schotky diode
 

I've got a diode to solder across the terminals of my Saturn motor and, being a bit slow, can't remember which way to do it. Which terminal should the end of the diode with the stripe go on (+ or -)? It's the first time I've done this!

The end with the stripe goes on the + side. But remember you cant fit it if you've got reverse on your speedo.

I thought as much (about the reverse thing). Thanks

If you're still unsure, bring it with you on saturday and i'll fit it for you.
