Another "whats this" question!

[nunya]

Was mounted on the right inner fender of an early 4 door wd21 (90-92) and has a factory plug, went into the harness that runs by. I don't remember seeing it on mine anywhere (of course thats not exactly a suprise, the differences between an e and an i) but wasn't sure what it was so I had to have it. sais :A15-OO0G00 1Y28NA: on one side and :JECS made in japan: on the other. I'm quite sure its useless to me but I'm curious.

According to the FSM it is the dropping resistor for the auto transmission. What it does I have no idea...

[bmitchell]

I have one but it is disconnected - from what I understand it has something to do with dropping the voltage to one of the solenoids - providing harder (more forceful) solenoid action. Mine's been rewired out of the circuit and I don't even have the socket to plug it back in.

 

Note: I am not an electrician, mechanic, lawyer or magician.

You found the flux capacitor!

 

 

dropping resistor = controls shift points in automatic transmission. Old school way of doing it before they started using computers to do it.

so it IS completly usless to me except to mount it for no aparant reason other than boredom (got other things to do before I even try to find it again.)

Mount it on a junk hard drive chassie and bring it too a computer place, too fix...
