I've found the HV cap. to be shorted but I'm not sure how to tell if the HV diode is bad. I measure 11.32 Mohms in one direction and infinity in the other. Is the diode good?

You have to replace just the capacitor and do not worry about the diode. The part number for the capacitor is AP3119626 Good luck. Gene.
