Remember that a working capacitor can't conduct current through it. A capacitor
that's NOT in working condition has typically failed because the dielectric has been
punctured, resulting in a conductive path between the 'plates'. Any DC conductivity
through the capacitor indicates that the component has failed. DC conductivity is
easy to spot with an ohmmeter.

How do you determine which wire on a led or capacitor is the negative end?

on an LED, the negative end is the shorter side. on a capacitor, the negative end usually has some kind of marking on it, whether its a line, or an arrow or something. with ceramic disk capacitors, there is no negative end, you just attach each side to a positive end, usually for a solar panel or something to store energy.

What is the effect on the supply current if the capacitor removed?

It depends on how the capacitor is connected and whether the supply voltage is a.c. or d.c. Assuming you are talking about a power-factor improvement capacitor (connected in parallel with an inductive load, supplied with a.c.), then the supply current will reduce.
