[xj-s] 47 volt zener diode in the ECU

In reply to a message from Paul F sent Sun 16 Aug 2009:

The old zener does not have a part number. It looks like the
old silver can style transistors but without a lip and has a
slightly conical base with one terminal sticking out (the
other being the case). The diameter is between 9 and 10 mm.
None of the electronics suppliers seem to have anything
resembling this.
I compared the two zeners on the heat sink using a
multitester. This one was a short. I have not checked any of
the other components because the lacquer has to be scraped
off first and because this output protection zener was a
short and not an open.–
The original message included these comments:

First study the old part itself to obtain the part number if you
don’t already have it. Then try searching the electronic suppliers
By the way, how did you determine you problem was with this diode?
