CHARGING DIODE INSTALLATION

1. Thoroughly clean and dry the area of the chassis where the new charging diode (6) is to be attached.
2. Peel the protective film from both sides of the new thermal pad (12) (Figure 21-2, Page 21-5). See following
CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Be sure to remove and discard the protective film from both sides of the thermal pad before installing
it. If not removed, the film will reduce the thermal heat transfer and therefore reduce the power
handling capability of the diode, causing it to overheat and damage the electrical system.
3. Mount the charging diode (6) using the new thermal transfer pad (12) and mounting nut (11). Tighten nut (11) to
25 in·lb (2.8 N·m) (Figure 21-2, Page 21-5).
4. Route and connect the red (4) and white (5) diode wires to the solenoid posts in the electrical component box.
See following WARNING.
WARNING
• Incorrect wiring could result in severe injury or death.
• Charging diode and solenoid connections must have correct polarity.
• Keep all persons clear of engine belts when making final connections.
4.1. Connect the 10-gauge red wire (4) from the charging diode to the solenoid post with the fuse block and
battery red wires (7 and 8). Tighten locknut (3) to 55 in·lb (6.2 N·m) (Figure 21-2, Page 21-5).
