I assume this is part of the lighting group and would like to get it all working properly.
Where would I get a suitable replacement? Radio Shack?
Thanks

Adding this Diode and connector, causes the "key in ignition, with door open" buzzer (horn relay) to also buzz if you have your parking or headlight switch in the on position, when opening the door. I add this to my cars. You can use a 1 amp diode such as a 1N4001, which is what I put across all of my relays.

This really helps if you ever turn your lights on in daytime then don't turn them off when getting out. Dead battery blues!
