Default bad wiring

Would anyone know What the inline resistor /capacitor is mounted inline between an orange and a lite blue wire found on left side of my steering stalk?

It might be a VATS bypass resistor.

No Sir , It already has one of those. This looks factory crimped and soldered . This came apart during alarm removal . The alarm was causing a no pulse condition.

An after-market alarm or .......

Do you have the FSM for your '92?

You mention 'stalk' - do you mean the directional/cruise/wiper function lever? You had to remove the end cap to gain access?

I guess then 'steering stalk' in this case is the 'column'? Interesting

OP if you have the '92 FSM 8A-110-0 and -1 will display those capacitors that are mentioned. 8A-110-1 for the one you specified.
