Lift the boom full up , remove left side panel, remove fuse box cover. Look for a black rubber connector of sorts that looks like it would be used on a trailer 2 wire connection. It is probably ziptied to other wires to keep it from jostling around---just two wires with a black connector with removable top end. The top end has a male and female just like the wire end. The top end is where the diode is. If you cut it open, use a very sharp exacto or knife and shave off slices of the top end a little at a time to slowly reveal the diode. The diode is maybe 1/4" long and 3/16" diameter. If it is fried it will be burnt in half like blown resistor (it is used as resistor which is why it burns out). Mine was using 3 a month due to a bad connection of the 2 speed switch connector. I used to rebuild my spares with a dab of silicone, but then got wise and just twisted the diode wires together rather than soldering, and no silicone. That way I could immediately see if the diode was fried.</p></blockquote><p></p>
