KDS CR-2699 Protective Control Box Repair

The Wait to start light stopped working on my truck, which also meant the glow plugs were not heating. The truck would still run but would crank for a long time then finally fire up and blow a large cloud of smoke. Clearly unburnt diesel. I did not want to start this way many times and knew I would have trouble in colder weather so I need to repair or replace the box.

My truck has the KDS Green Label CR-2699 box.

When I took it out of the truck I could hear stuff rattling around in it. I Opened it and found 1 Diode that completely came off the board and 1 capacitor that blew up.

I bought 2 of each of these parts from Digikey.com for about $12 shipped to my house. After putting them in the box functions as intended.

It was hard to read the number since both parts blew up but this is what I found...
The diode looked to be 1.5KE47CA. I ended up getting 1.5KE47CARL which showed as an upgrade.
The Capacitor was hard to make out but I ended up with TAP475M050CCS. It is a 4.7uF 50V Tantalum Capacitor.

I hope this information helps someone fix their PCB.
