Re: (ET) diodes



Be sure to check the capacitor too.  When mine went bad, the charger started drawing a lot of current and popping the 15 amp breaker I was plugged in to.  Apparently it's a fairly common failure.

Well it seems alternator diodes don't have the capacity.  10 seconds after turning charger on, line fuse blows and a recheck of diodes shows them smoked!  Have to look for the right ones.
