Hey all,
Im wiring up my electric fans at the moment and have a question in relation to the AC compressor. I decided to make my own (yes i know about nelson and blackbear-great companies) because i have the materials and weatherpack connectors to do the job right (hopefully). My question is regards to a diode through the relay wire to the compressor...Is it necessary? I heard from some that they used one, and I heard from someone else that they bought a harness (nelson i believe but not sure) and there is no diode. I understand that the purpose of a diode is to allow current to pass through but not pass back through its original path, but was wondering if it was that necessary for the compressor itself? Any help is appreciated, this will depend if i have to run to the store again or not lol. Thanks in advance and happy holidays.
