<VV> Warning Buzzer Diode

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 Yep, 1N4000 series. Radio Shack has these. Any diode with a 1 amp rating or better will work, since that's a pretty basic min rating for power diodes these days...

Most any diode as used in a power supply will work, not a small signal 
diode (1N914 not a good choice).

Minimum specs would be 50 piv (Vr, whatever) and .5 A.

But I would use one of those typical 4000 series, like a 1N4001 to 
1N4007, since they are so common. These are rated at 1 amp.

Yes, the diode keeps the buzzer from annoying you when the ignition is 
on, but not running, like during starting.
