Need help finding capacitors

I have a 95 F250 4x4, my master cylinder was leaking and I didn't know it, anyway it dumped fluid all over the wiring harness and left me stranded I have already pulled the PCM and I have a cap that has been almost blown completely off the board the board looks to be OK other than ,that, but I can't seem to find where to get them, any help is appreciated.... Looks like a 10mf bluish green color.

10 uf and at least 63V rating. That's the factory spec.


While you are in there replace the other two capacitors:

47 uf 25v

No, as it has to be 63 Volts or higher in case you have spike that high. I think 63 volts is too small as a the voltage spike can go as high as 100 volts if you disconnect the battery while the engine is running.

The 10 @ 63 is in the incoming power line circuit to the computer.
