Is a 20 amp the correct size of diode to use for overriding the reverse button to be able to use 4wd in rev. without pushing the yellow button? Or is it 2 amp? If it is a 20 amp, then where should I find one? Radio shack carries a 2A, but that is about as big as they go from there.

Thanks,
SnowDrift

I believe I read somewhere that the 20 Amp was a misprint. I think 5-6A was OK and you could wire 3 2A diodes in parallel to get you there.

20A is a huge diode.
