The diode between the alternator bootstrap circuit and the brake warning system has failed in my ‘72. To me, a diode is a tiny glassy thing you solder onto a PCB. I suspect though that an automotive diode might not best be ordered from Mouser. Can someone give me a path to replacement? How many Watts, etc? Thanks.

Do you have a diagram showing the location in the circuit? Where is it physically located? If I can lay my hands on one it may be possible to identify. I have no idea why a diode is need there.
