Probably.  Usually any change to how your car looks, sounds, smells and
feels should be investigated, ignoring it often leads to a breakdown and the
owner cussing the car.  "Listen to your car, it is talking to you".
Short-circuit diodes can cause increased noise and heat, as well as
mechanical problems.
