I was slapping my new alternator on and this little dudes wire is hanging by a thread, what is it called?
Some kind of noise sensor?

its a noise supressor or something like that.

lemme check DOB install instructions cause I wire into that for the relay trigger for pump/fans

"The easiest is to

tap into the RF noise suppressor wire that is located on the PS front

cover"

Hmmmm... so I wouldn't be fucked or anything if it popped off?
Edit, still can't find anything like it on the net.

Maybe the Tasca guy that is on here from time to time can identify it for you from the picture.

It's a fancy "capacitor" (or to those who used to work with points..a "condenser".
It used for filtering out voltage spikes from the injectors and coil packs.

Just splice or fix up any damage to the wire.

The pair on my 2002 F150 are messed up I think. Sometimes when I start the truck there is a low volume static noise coming from the radio. If I turn the radio off and back on again it clears up.

Don't have my vin on me so can't find it on tasca.

And also it looks like it's broken deep in the sensor, unless I dropped a melted ball of solder down there.

Give me the number off of it and I can tell you what it is. I can't make it out in the pic.

Never mind, figured it out. It's the noise suppression sensor, ford calls it a capacitor, as stated above. Ford part number is 5W7Z-18801-AA
