I'm doing some under-hood wiring repair/consolidation. On the a/c compressor there is the 2-terminal plug with 3 wires that go to a diode...and that's as far as I get before I get confused. On the diode, you have a black wire coming out the top AND the bottom, plus the black/yellow hash coming out the bottom also. I'm sure the bk/y-h is the 12v and the 2 blacks are grounds. I'm just confused as to how the diode is wired the way the factory did it and-- if one were rewiring stuff--if there's a better way. Could I just run a ground wire and then put a automotive diode on the bk/y-h wire only? I don't run a "kicker" solenoid on the carb anymore, and I'm not tampering with the wiring on the drier/accumulator. Just the portion that "triggers" the compressor.
Any thoughts? Thank you in advance for sparing me any dissertations on altering the way the factory wired it 'cause "Ford knows best."
