Looking for a diode

October 06, 2010, 10:41:43 pm

Good friend Rudy Legget diagnosed the source of a non blinking turn signal on the toad when hooked up to the coach as a faulty diode.  As best I could tell this is the identifying code on the side of the diode  T6A 20

Can I find these at Radio Shack?

Thanks

Radio Shack may have it, but most RV places stock these.

George, Look here, or at any shop that installs tow bars and hitches.

Yes, if you can find a good one.  Radio Shacks are not created equal.  Any good electronics radio store, but they are getting hard to find.  Any shop that does maintenance on emergency vehicles should also have them.

I'm not sure about you specific needs for replacement, but I bought the highest volt/amp diode radio shack had for under $5.00 each and they have been performing for over two years without a problem. Sorry, I can't remember or access the part number as I am on the road without the toad (no rhyme intended).
