Can you please let me know which way round to fit the diode?

AND I'll have to see if can DIG UP the installation instructions.

Best Wishes,

Bushwanderer, I was instructed to fit the diode with the stripped end toward the brake controller. I think that makes sense as you wish to prevent any signal coming back from the brake controller into the D3's systems.

Thanks Richard,
Received perfectly & promptly,

Much Appreciated,

Hi Chris, have just found this & the statement u make here (which is probably my fault trying to describe it to u in the first place!!:() in Orange is incorrect!

The "diode" goes from the red wire coming from your brake controller to the tapped into connection to the Purple/green trace (from memory which is you brake light wire). Not to have any connection to your blue wire in any case, which is why u had problems earlier i would presume.

Sorry for not noticing, i have just returned from holidays in S.A.

I am hoping to fit one & show pics once i return to work.

I'm sure you can wire these controllers up and take a brake light signal from different locations some with no risk and maybe some with higher risk.

I'm happy to have fitted as per my Dealer's instructions. Thanks Sneigy.

Gees, I'm glad you made THAT clear. :eek:

Hi Pete,
I do apologise for my ramblings..:(
Basically the red wire from your brake controller goes to the purple/green wire for your brake light pickup signal (As LR have instructed in the L/H/R 1/4 panel.). In between the connection of these 2 wires is placed the diode.
I do hope this is clearer...cant wait for the photo's....;)

Pete,

Actually you instructed me correctly (I just checked the email we corresponded on) and I had wired it correctly - Brake controller RED wire to Diode to Purple/Green trace wire. What I typed in my post below was incorrect. Sorry to all for that.

Regards,

Chris
