Title: Wireless Locking
Post by: amba on 26 September 2009, 09:07:52
Sorry guys but I know this is not VX.....my daughter has a KA and she is forever forgetting to lock the doors as it has no wireless key locking (cheap skates)..anyway I have bought a kit off  fleabay with very doddgy instruction (translated from Slokvak) ..it tells me I need to fit a Diode between the indicator wires for trigger advise and quotes Diode IN5401....anybody know where I can pick these up from ..Looked on Maplins site and aren,t listed.Thanks

Cheers Welung666...destructions call it a "Diode pack" and it looks like I need 2..one for each wire to the L/H and R/H indicator wires on car loom...pity it wasn,t in clearer English and had all the bits required.!!

presumably thats simply to flash the indicators when activated.  If so, and high power diode should suffice.

I tend to use Farnells for electronic components, as many don't deal with public anymore, and Craplins have got even worse

That's what I used to use, 2 diodes with wires from each all heatshrunk into a smal tidy strip. I'll do you a pic in a bit ;)

Welung666..picture is great,thanks..Assume I need 1 for each wire going to loom ?..Main remote unit has a single wire which would require splitting to connect to each indicator feed wire,witha Diode inline?is that correct.
If you would sell me 2 I will do the money by return with email addy.
PM me if ok

Yea 1 diode for each turn signal, simply solder the 1 wire from the unit to the 2 yellow trace wires then solder 1 blue trace to each turn signal wire on the car.

I'm about to head out to the post office, PM me an address and I'll stick 'em in the post today. You can email me a beer at some point ;) :y
