Get a 1N5406 or better yet a 1N5408 diode and be sure to install it in the proper direction. Any electronics supplier should have them, if not PM me your address and I'll send you a few, but you likely won't get them by the weekend.
Shorted or opened?
Voltage on one side and not the other would indicate an open would it not?
Bypassing it with a wire would create a short across an open diode.
