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.

It's used as a one-way circuit. My late 90s Nissan cluster has a couple for warning lites.
Sorry don't know the specs. |
