What is this part?
Howdy fellas, this was on the + post on the starter relay on the pass fender. It obviously is not in very good working condition , what does this send power to? The wire that attached to it was just lying next to it. Will I get lucky, and find out this is why my injectors don't fire? I unscrewed it, and it has an empty cavity, was there a fuse that went in it? Thank you, C

my guess is that it is an add on aftermarket part for antenna or something like that. The words "load" and Motorola point me in that direction

I agree with the fuse holder answer. Looks like the end is spring-loaded (corroded, but spring-loaded) and you can kinda see the openings for the twist-lock, too. I'm thinking it might have been for a CB radio.

If you can't find the other end to connect to, I'd leave it out and not worry about it.

I like this "guess this part game" I wish I would have taken some pics of some of my rear brakes parts. I still don't know what 1 of the pieces is. Toltaly destroyed by axle oil, heat and friction between the pads and drum. What a mangaled mess that was.

That is a fused holder manufactured by Cooper Bussman and sold for approximately
$19.28 used in radio installation.

Never, never in a hundred years would I ever call Guru TJ a liar, mistaken perhaps but never a liar. (We don't have a sign that says "He's Mistaken").

Good for you, you have pulled the shroud for the last time. Got Pix??

Pray tell. What is this famous Kawa Kwik shroud mod? Possibly to modify the evil, no good, stinking, POS fan shroud? If so please tell me more.
