I'm a total novice when it comes to electronics although I have skimmed through a few basic articles.
I understand that a diode is a one way none return valve to protect against spikes going back into sensitive electronics. That was a concern when I ripped out the old ECU and wired in the new Omex ECU.
But how do you know for sure whether there will be a problem?
Dumb question maybe but why not always use diode protected relays other than cost?
As I recall, they come in the exact same sizes and do the same switching job so why not play safe and use them as standard?
If that question is actually dumber than dumb, please enlighten me gently but comprehensively.
It would appear that I still need to learn a bit about electronics even on my turn of the century model.
