What is this thing, and how does it hook up?

I found this thing under my truck today. I remember seeing it on my fuse box before, but I have no idea what it is suppost to do. Is it maybe the root of my buzzer problems?

wow i can't believe that you don't know what that is... j/k




it looks like some sort of sensor or buzzer(like you said)...

just hook it up to 12v and see what it does...

It looks like a radio noise supressor. Basically a capacitor to reduce the a/c ripple from the alternator. Does it have a number followed by 'uF' on it somewhere? If so, then just attach the wire to the +12V going to the radio and bolt it to the chassis. It probably won't 'do' anything unless you are listening to the radio with the engine running.

Looks like a condensor if you have points. But if it was on your fuse box it is probably a noise supressor so your radio won't hiss as you rev your engine.

alright, I'll leave it be then, I don't really need it cause I don't have a stereo in the truck :P

Say what?? :confused: No stereo in your truck? :) Even if you just have the radio this will help. You do have a radio don't you? :drama: Just kidding with you. :lol:
