CDL Module Component Identification

[sailorbob]

Does anyone know what the component with the orange diagonal stripe is in the CDL module?

Thanks.

A Fuse ? (maybe).

A schematic could be give some more clues.

I do not have a schematic but it bridges pin 30 of both relays.

Hi Derek,

pin 30 is AFAIK the power feed to the switches in the relais.

Do have a picture of the underside?

What is the resitance across the part (both ways)?

What is wrong with the module?

[sailorbob]

Pin 30 is the output from the relays to the door lock motors. The normally closed position of the relay ties pin 30 to gnd.

Sorry I do not have a photo of the underside.

The component has virtually no resistance either way.

There is nothing wrong with the module I'm just trying to figure it out 😊

In that case I think it is just a wirebridge (Just a 0 Ohm resistor), makes more sense than a fuse.

I think there has got to be more to it than that as otherwise they would just use a wire bridge like the other two on the PCB.

Because the component bridges pin 30 on the relays a simple wire bridge would not work because when one relay is being used to provide the lock or unlock +12 volt pulse the other relay provides the gnd path for the door lock motor and a wire bridge would mean the  +12 volt pulse would be connected to gnd too.

It has me flummoxed as to what it is.
