Re: [DML] What is a Diode?



Hi Bobby,

No idea where the diode is but a diode basically is a device that only lets
electrisity flow in one direction. You can check if a diode still works by
checking the resitance of the diode (while its not wired up to the circuit).
Measure it one way and it should show a very high resistance, turn the wires
around and it should show a very low resistance.

If a diode is broken it usually doesn't let any current flow in any
direction so it could very well be your problem.

Hope that helps,

How do I check the diode and are the difficult to diagnose?
