if i remember right it's a diode to keep the dirty ac voltage made by the pulley/coil out of the electrical system
you can probably score one from a junkyard for cheep if you have access to a you pull it type yard, just about any of them will work
Hi, I was having problems with my AC magnetic clutch showing a short and traced it down to a small black square electrical component bolted to the compressor housing. It was shorting the signal. It has since been removed and the clutch works ok, but there is a lot of electrical interference now in the stereo. I suspect it was a capacitor of some sort but was hoping someone could confirm and maybe what type / etc. I would need to replace it from an electronics outfit.
Cheers.

all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it
Ahhhh! that makes sense. I guess any diode that will support the current should work.
Thanks.
Lol, just make sure you install it 'backwards' or else you'll have two smoking terminals and a rather nasty burned silicon (sp?) smell :POriginally Posted by beetos
