Kevin, That statement astounds me. There is no more common failure than the CR4118 on the 169. Have a (cheap) friend in the business who uses "pulls" from other chassis to fix sets-- and wonders why he can't fix a 169. I agree with Perry. We change CR4118 in EVERY 169 that comes in the shop. Oh, yes, it is on the 15v line.
