    If it really is a suicide battery, I wonder what got lost...

    Great job desoldering all that, that's a lot of work

    I would beep out the ECU connector pins to see what they end up connecting to. Because of the big TO-247 package and heatsinking, wild guess is the fuel rack solenoid, as a high current load.
    I'll check with someone in the business, but there might be a HV DC-DC converter sometimes to make say 100VDC for driving big solenoid loads and the mosfets might be for that. I'd think they get power from the big caps, not from 24VDC.

    No Sir! I tried my darnedest to find a spec sheet on that N548AB and found diddly squat! There are not even any markings on these 3 legged caps. But I did figure out that this ECU came out of a 2007 Catapillar MXS engine.

    Caterpillar ECU repair, need N548AB replacement?

    I've got a Catapillar ECU here from an 18 wheeler. Complaint: Effer doesn't start! Nice!
    Well here we go: open up the ECU and you get greeted with 70 pins of Catapillar madness! It takes a bit of time to desolder 70 pins and some prying to get it out.
    Underneath that main board is another board with all the Power goodies. You thing the 70 pins are hard? This bottom board is a real pain to figure out what pins to unsolder in order to get it out. However I did get that power board out too. Only took me almost 3 hours to get those 2 boards off and that is with using a heat gun and a desoldering at the same time. Had to empty the desoldering gun 5 times! It's probably close to 100 pins to desolder before one gets anywhere in this thing.

    So what's the problem again? No start. The victims this time are 2 Fairchild N548AB in a TO247 SHT package. Dead short.

    Now to my problem: With what do I replace these? I can't find anything much useful about them besides that they are discontinued.

    Here is some ECU porn.
