Re: Rejected inspection: front turn signals

OK here is how to hook up the diodes:

Put the two diodes in series between the two wires coming from the harness to the indicator bulb. Make sure that the sides with the white circles (the white circle on the diode's bodies) are closest together.

If this is your diode, and it conducts current to the right, the white circle should be on the right side:
-----###|----
where "-###|-" = diode, and "------" = wire, and "|" is the white circle.


When you're done, it should look like this:
(left from harnass)-------###|------x-----|###------(right from harnass)

At the "x", connect one wire to the indicator bulb. The other wire from the indicator bulb goes to ground:
x--------(bulb)-------(ground)

PLease note that you don't have to specifically worry which wire comes from the left or the right. Because the diodes conduct electricity downstream from both sides. To the bulb.
