Can anyone help find one of these? I have tried all the online resources and dealer, no dice. Thanks.

Had the very same issue many years ago on our '86.
Our passenger side parking lights went out.
My factory circuit diagram showed the "usual suspect",
however finding it was an interesting search.
Using a multimeter, I found the diode to be open.
I bought an equivalent diode, and all has been well since then.
Just go to your local electronics store, buy the diode, and solder it
to the pc board.
I put two in parallel for redundency.
Good luck,
Gerry
