Capacitor 801249 Question?
The wire broke apart from the capacitor and I was wondering if I could solder it to the capacitor and make it work again.
Now I have read the this capacitor controls the clicking noise from the radio when the brake lights go on. If I have an aftermarket radio installed, do I need this capacitor plugged in or can I just toss it?

You really don't need the capacitor. But, if you want to keep it "for looks", clean it up and put it back on. I would not suggest soldering it back together; just glue the wire back in with RTV. You don't want to have and electrical connection to it anyway...there's no risk of a "short" if it's not connected.
