After burning up 2 control panels, working with Van's the diode was found to have been made incorrectly. I would suggest that those of you that have not used their diode, please check to be sure that it is wired correctly. Mine had the connectors wired backwards allowing a dead short to burn up the control panel master switch.

That's not good. Thanks for the heads up. Pardon my ignorance, but what's a 'control panel'?

Sorry
My bad, I just noticed this was posted in the RV-12 forum and you guys have that self contained 'panel'.
