I'm glad you fixed it - as I expect you are! 
Of course, what was really throwing you off-course was the apparent co-incidence of having an accident with that switch and - presumably - sometime prior to that, the failure of the rect. valve. Unfortunately, rare as such co-incidences are, they do indeed happen - and for those of us with a logical mind, geared towards cause and effect, that sort of thing drives us crazy!
Incidentally, did you carry out any checks to determine if the valve died of old age or was it killed? If the latter, then what I could say is obvious . . . so I won't!
