Ignition Fuse
See Figure 7-39. The ignition fuse (5) is in the fuse block
under the seat. Always replace the ignition fuse with a 7.5
ampere fuse.
Diodes
See Figure 7-39. The fuse block contains two diodes, diode 2
(7) for the starter circuit and diode 1 (8) for the ignition circuit.
A diode acts as a one way switch which permits current flow
in one direction, but not in the other.
The circled numbers in the 7.11 STARTER/IGNITION INTER-
LOCK diagnostic ignition test flow charts correspond to the
following tests.
1. Check diode with an ohmmeter as shown in Figure 7-40.
2. Check diode polarity as shown in Figure 7-41.
Replace diodes as necessary.
