Mike:
It's function as a diode should be able to be checked with an ohm meter. Usually when diodes are installed in a manner such as this they are noise filters intended to keep electrical noise created by a motor or other magnetic device out of the rest of the electrical system. I haven't checked but I suspect it's tied to the fan motor or AC clutch circuit.

I do suspect it was a USA-invented and -installed part though, part of

You would have to know what it was attached to make an educated guess
on it's purpose.
Maybe the fan on the AC system? Not sure why, but maybe the car was
running on.....
