Brent B3B Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 little background, My B3HH ("Rob") was ordered by the Navy and then what I would guess acquired by a fire department. With that, there is an extra battery box under the drivers side hood and a switch on the dash for the batteries. I have what I call "resistors" at the ignition, coil (neg side) and at the generator (photo) I haven't seen these on my other trucks so, I wonder what is the function, are they really necessary, can they be tested?

Merle Coggins Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Yup.. like they said. It's a capacitor. They are used to suppress electric interference for radios. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
