I have a switch from my truck that is reading bad. It's a $50 piece of plastic with two (of the same) diodes. Can someone please help identify (and possibly source) this diode?
It's a small black cylindrical one with a silver stripe at one end. It has the manufacturer mark (I assume), which looks like an "S" or "5", then G6-V.
Here's the manufacturer mark: **broken link removed**
to me it looks like compact version of 1N4007 shorter body). if so i doubt that this thing is rated for more than 1A. the other possibility is that it is zener which can easily be tested.

Looking at it again - it very well could be; not having the dimensions - but putting a fresh eye to it, what's holding it looks like they might be tweezers (my initial impression was pliers, making my guess much larger, of course). I think more information is needed from the OP (as Boncuk noted).
I will retract my "guess" though - I don't think it is as large as I thought before...
