Technical The GM alternator keeps my car running, Diode needed

This is just a quick simple solution to that car won't shut off issue...
I was working on a O/T Gm powered that had this very issue... Realized I only had one Diode left for said fix..
I still had the store bought package when radio shack was still brick an mortar, Searched the part # , Sure enough it was still available
Soo I thought I'd shoot you guy's needing help in this department the fix, splice/solder one of these in the keyed wire going to the alternator , Slide a piece of heat shrink on before, Done!

 

Or....you could hook that wire to the acc side of the ign switch, does the same thing.

 

I like to go to the drive-in.

If I wired my ignition like that, I might not get it started when it is time to leave.

Diodes are cheap, and easy to install, and are much better than getting yelled at by the wife.

 

Crazy-town! I thought they were long gone.

I just bought 30!

 

Any electronics supplier will sell you gobs of 1N4004 diodes for anywhere from a few cents to a half a buck apiece, depending on brand, quantity desired, etc.

 

Exactly my point.... First ya gotta know what ya need... Only point.. nothing more... I wouldn't know if a electrician friend didn't tell me.... Why.... I thought I would put it Out there... Squirrel I know you can build robot's... Not all of us can.. h-hee... Cheer's

 

If your car has a acc terminal on the switch just wire the alternator to it.

 

Just pulled into drive in. I opened glove to rest soft drinks down then flip the on-on aka driven-default mode switch.
