I just got the boards in, and sure enough, the TVS diode was obliterated 
in the broken ones.

This Friday, I'll go to the truck company with a DSO for measurements on 
the actual vehicles, both in the workshop and 'live' on the road.

I'll let you know what I find!

Thanks again,

Best regards,

Richard Rasker
