For what it's worth, a Cap is FAR more likely to develop a heavy-duty short 
like you're seeing than a Diode or Resistor (Resistors almost ALWAYS increase 
in value when overloaded and tend to fail open, Diodes are far more likely to 
fail open as well).
 I'd check the Electrolytics FIRST - most likely point of failure....
