GM All Lights On
- Thread starter LBZ
- Start date
Reece and I just used Radio Shack diodes Dale. We did 5 or 6 trucks like that 5 years ago with no issues.
I just stuffed the diode in with the fuse pin...
This is the 3rd GM I've worked up like that, last truck I put 80k mi on with the all in diode
This truck I've had like this for 4 years and 50k mi..
All w/HID ballasts hooked up to the factory harness and plugs, never once had an issue of any kind with this
Costs $3 per application and 10min of time (once I made the trip to rat shack)

Whatcha doin' awake at midnight Jason.?
If you can find a Radio Shack, 11 of them have/will be closed this year where I live in the Greater Phoenix Metropolitan. Merchant has the diode "plate" for about $20.00 plus $6.52 shipping to my residence in the US...

Dang, I didn't realize they were doin that bad...
Well, I was grocery shopping, it was only 11pm here...
That isn't too bad a price I suppose, I've never seen what it is before now.
The diodes are in-line 30A rectifier diodes, Radio Shack PN/IN4005
For anyone curious :thumb:

Now that's the info needed (diode number) just need to know which way they go for some of us that are electrically challenged.....
I honestly don't remember Mike, but I think I explained it here:

I used the diode method on my 03, 05 and 08 and I haven't had any problems. I used larger diodes on my 08 due to them getting too hot but I have had great luck with them.
Now you're complicating it for the electrically challenged, if it was 3 phase I understand it 'cus electricity is you're friend, now which number would be a larger diode..
4004 is smaller amp rating than 4005...4005 is 30A and I believe 4004 is a 20A, might be 25A...I bought whatever they had, but used what the factory fuse/line was rated for...
Fleece acts like this is something revolutionary...
Reinvented the wheel and charge 50x more.
Been done since The Place and works just fine.

I used diodes for years without issue and just for the helluva it bought the fleece mod this past spring. A couple weeks ago the fleece module started sometimes working intermittently. This meant that when I flipped to highs I had no lights at all, just parking lights which do not illuminate the road. Kinda dangerous at night. Merchant sent me a new one with no hassle, but the radioshack diodes never failed on me.
Some people would rather pay a bit more for plug and play and retard proof installation.
I just like clean and don't want all the extra diodes and wiring. Pulling the fuse box cover to do it underneath is a pia.

I've had my fleece module in for over a year with no issues, with both HIDs and halogens in the highs & lows (no fogs).
