There are several variants. Some solenoids use an external post for ground some are grounded internally therefore when they are tack welded to the base they ground thru the mounting bolts to the truck rather than thru the wires in the other boxes.
Diodes are there in case of backfeed of power...
Post a picture of what the inside of your box looks like and we can better help you...
There are 2 different types of 939 series box . One is the two solenoid and one has the circuit board in it. Basically the circuit board just takes the place of the original diodes the first generation box...
Will bump this with a work around to a single solenoid setup. This will delete the upper solenoid that runs the starter connection in the PCB. You simply unhook the power supply wire (black) from the solenoid on top and the bottom and discard it. Remove the small green wire to the solenoid...
Yes. Replace both solenoids if you are going to be in there though and just test your upper and keep it for a spare. If you are in there you might as well replace everything and be done with it rather than a week from now the solenoid going out from unknown reasons
The blown diode protected the abs solenoid and the abs module. That is the top Solenoid. The lower solenoid is what runs the truck. It is blown more than likely causing your no start condition
No it is a diode. It hooks to the rivet that holds that solenoid to the box just below it. Basically from that big terminal with the yellow ring terminal to the ground on the rivet at the box.
If you want to burn your wire harness and truck to the ground go ahead and replace it with a wire. If...
