If this is a capacitor, shouldn't it have a micro or pico farad rating? I ask because I took it to an electronics shop and the guy said it was a 7 amp (7A) micro-fuse. It did ACT like a fuse in that it cut off the battery's power when the enigine shorted the works.
If it is a capacitor, where would you recomend I find a replacment? I don't see any on the net. (But I don't see the micro-fuses, either.)
It does have a capacitance rating, but it's almost never printed on the cap plain as day. It's be something like "103". And second the symbols on the cap look like they may be manufacturer specific. It's nothing I recognize.
If you go to Tower, they should have one (as mentioned) and if you knew the manufacturer and contacted them, they might give you the specs. In which case DigiKey of Jameco or you local supply house could get a replacement......
