| Post subject: | Capacitor off of temp gauge? |
Removed my instrument cluster in my '73 D-100 pickup to repair some heater wiring. When getting ready to put it back, I noticed what appears to be a capacitor hanging off one of the studs for the heater gauge. The body of this cap was hanging loose. The screw tab on it's side can only reach either a ground screw on the body of the cluster, or the blue wire at the ammeter. i assume it goes to ground and NOT to the ammeter. Right? And what is it for? Thanks! ________ colorado dispensaries |

Radio noise suppression capacitor so you don't hear the snap-crackle-pop of the instrument cluster voltage limiter points making and breaking. Not needed if you upgrade the limiter. |

So the loose end indeed goes to ground? ________ Honda CBR1000RR |

Yep, it goes across instrument cluster voltage limiter and ground. |

Errr....no! I have that one two, but this is a seperate one (looks just like the regulator one) which has a small, round, push-on connector to one leg of the temp gauge. This leg goes directly only to the large milti-pin connector in the center, and I'm guessing It's the signal input to the gauge. Would it help if I attached a pic? I'll shoot one and post it here shortly. Well, it appears that I don't know how to insert an image. How? ________ vaporgenie |
