1957 960 w/12 volt conversion. This has worked for several years, then recently quit charging. Checking wiring I found a broken wire at the diode. I know either a diode or light may be used. Now my questions: I have a battery disconnect I always turn off when shutting off the tractor. If this is always done, is a diode/light necessary? I understand the diode only allows electricity to flow in one direction, so how does a light keep electricity from flowing the wrong way, or does it only remind you the battery is discharging?
Please forgive my ignorance. Only trying to learn!
Thanks in advance for helping me understand.
