Hi all I know its not really a modding question but can any one help. In my car i added a lights on warning buzzer and an imbolisor to my car but i have a problem. all 4 doors of my car set the buzzer off when the door is opened, same with the imobalisor(only if the key is out) i want to set it off with just the drivers door. can i put a Rectifier Diode 1N5402 maplin code QL83E into the circuit? below is the circuit can any one help? Thanks Andy
Like that, assuming your car is RHD ED: wondering if I had to little sleep last night.... ED2: finding out that my thught war right... ED3: sorry for my english, I'm from Norway, and had too little sleep last night.
ah i get you i think so as long as the diode is before where the others connect, dont worry about you english mate its better than most english people. thanks andy
SIR, yes SIR.... a nice place to do this... at the door-switch just place the diode there, and run the wire from the switch side of the diode upp to the buzzer an imob.... Just remember to put the diode the right way.. or the lights won't turn on when you open the driver's door, and the buzzer will sound when you open any door...
cheers was going to go do it now but its raining oh well will have to see in the morning Thanks again Andy
it stopped raining for 10 mins, so went out and did it, it works, thanks Alekoy for the help. do you know if the diodes get hot? will it be ok behind a pannel? thanks Andy
that shoud not be a problem (if you don't have many lights in the door-circuit) but, it shoud be fine.. (just calculate/mesure the current in the circuit, multiply it by 0,6 and you have the wattage of the diode)
