Third stop light not working

Yep, that seems to be the Puppy.
Everywhere I look they are right around 25 cents.... PLUS $3 - 10 shipping.
Guess I go to Radio Shack and buy a Normal Diode for a nickel and see if it works.
Going by the circuit and the PCB, a single larger diode should do exactly what that tiny one does. And it is SERIOUSLY tiny. 1mm X 2.5mm

fixed?
Get it fixed? I had the same issue with my XKRS; different 3rd brake light but the failure was in the short removable harness (not sold separately). The shop I had it at sourced failed "diode" @ local electronics place in Calgary and they fixed it by soldering in new part. I do not know which item in your photo was the culprit but if I can help, let me know. Could hook you up with name of shop.

Yep, used to have one just over a mile from my house as well, and I walked right by the front door twice a day as I walked to and from work. I guess that was part of the problem, I walked right by, rarely ever stopped in, and when I did it was for a small $ purchase, the big stuff I bought elsewhere.
The most I ever bought there was when the store was closing, and I was grabbing as much as I could at 75% off, kind of sad.

OK, bump outta nowhere.
9W83-18K891-BA = C2P20329, parts catalogue calls it "antenna, high mounted stop lamp, positive, radio"
But that is not the Suppressor shown in the wiring diagram paralleled with the high mount stop light, those are p/n C2C41321 or C2C10805.
This part is also used as a noise suppressor in the ignition system in the X350 XJ, the S-Type, and also the XK, under the bonnet.
These suckers;
In the XK they are also in the left side of the boot, if you pop out the plastic vent panel you will see it. I've been going through this hell the last few days with my radio reception crapping out...
But for the life of me I have not found this 9W83-18K891-BA / C2P20329 inline in the cable to the centre brake light...

On AF aircraft, components like that are filled with "potting compound", a catalyzed goop that completely engulfed the entire circuitry to 100% eliminate any possibility of component movement or environmental contamination. The stuff was nearly impossible to remove. If attempted, the circuitry was destroyed anyway.
