Enrique,
This is a LUCAS noise suppression capacitor. They are used to try to
eliminate electrical noise from electric motors and the like. You will often
find them attached to the voltage regulator that feeds the FUEL gauge, TEMP
gauge, windshield wiper and fuel pump. They are NON ESSENTIAL but may give your
stereo a lift! Stop the wining or poping often heard when listening to the
radio. Regards John.
