Since the 6-5906 is notorious for burning up, as mine have, I thought that if I opened it up and simply replaced the diodes with heavier duty ones that I could solve the problem.
Could it be that easy? If so, I would need to know the specs or better yet a part number.
Thanks,
Alan

Use 6A diodes, 50V or better.
Here's ten 6A 1000V diodes less than $4 shipped, auction 390221424060. You can get another ten for $1.70 more, no extra shipping.

Always like a satisfied customer. 
This is a surprise read for me I have had real good service from the 5906. Now the old red controllers is a different story. I will save this info though just in case that day does come along.
I did the diode thing as Dale H. suggested in the above link, and the horn and bell work just fine in a PW tender, Williams diesel and an MTH PS2.
Thanks,
Alan
Love a positive result.
