David W Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Hoping some kind soul can help me with a wiring question. I've managed to pull out some cables whilst hoisting the engine so I can remove the sump to cure an oil leak (another story). Two of them I can see have been yanked out of the back of the alternator. I can re-crimp these hopefully. There appears to be a third 'circled' in the picture that is connected to a small item alongside the coil. Any ideas what this is and where this wire belongs?? Any advice would be appreciated. Like Comment Send Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanMi Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) it looks like an aftermarket radio interference suppressor. Can be ignored if you don't have an AM radio Edited November 1, 2023 by DanMi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
