Hi.
Basically to explain the title.
I have a boat im rewiring, i have light on the gauges which i dont have a switch for them.
I have 3 different light circuits switched and also the motor ignition key all 12v.
I dont want the gauges on all the time only when items are in use.
What i was thinking if it works would be
Gauges
|
| | |
diode diode diode

nav light floor light key ignition
would the diode stop the back flow of the 12v so basically if i turn on the nav light it wont put 12v through the floor light or key ig but light the gauges.
As i said its low ampage and 12v battery.
thanks
