I do know that it checks like a diode, with one direction being .879V
and the other .397.

That's not how a diode measures. One direction should
measure open on the diode test range, the other low, like
the .397 reading you got. If you measure it in circuit,
then the readings can depend on the other elements in the
circuit. If that was the case (measured in circuit) remove
one wire and measure again.

Hey Ed,

Well, maybe like a faulty diode. Or like something meant to act like a
diode, but which doesn't do it's job quite right. It was checked out of
circuit, BTW.

Thanks for the interest.
