Cool! Then you may have something you can get a few bucks out of. Is the cap needed? Maybe. It's probably a standard "glitch buster" cap. Might cost ya ten bucks. Unless you're good with soldering, especially on circuit boards, I'd suggest soldering the new cap (if you get one) onto the old wires and use shrink wrap on the joints. Getting the polarity of the cap right might be an issue. Use a volt meter and find out which wire has a positive voltage, and connect the + side of the cap to that wire.
