This is wired just behind my brake light switch on the brake pedal. It obviously has been added. Looks like a resistor??

What is it? Should I remove it?





Thanks,

Not too long ago there was a thread on this. It is a capacitor to suppress the arc generated when the brake lights are operated. It caused a "pop" in the radio whiout this capacitor. Mostly dealer installed.

Looks original, just re-attached. The original plugged into the switch terminals.

Nope. The original was installed using the blue plastic clip connectors.

OK, They were on the midyears. I guess thats what I was thinking of.

It looks like you have the ABS option. Very rare option that year!
