Subject:3 quick ALTERNATOR questions
From:Gary Goldey
Date:Sat, 19 Feb 2005 11:51:47 EST

I just pulled the alternator out after a week of running with the red dummy
lites on---(I had 2 of the manufacturers screws fall out of the old one)----The
quick question is
1:WHAT is the little 1 inch square thing on the back with the wire coming
out-a condensor?--
2: Why isn't it on my new alternator? and
3: Should I get a new one or just switch out the old part?

Thanks----G.
