That's not a resistor, it's a capacitor. It's not normal [stock], there should only be a ground lead off your front engine/headlamp harness with a self-tapping screw to ground the side of the regulator box to the system. Best guess is that capacitor was for Hi-Fi or CB noise reduction. If you didn't install it yourself -- you probably don't need it. A capacitor doesn't flow current constantly, it stores it up then bursts it thru at intervals. That could be your gripe right there.
