RE: {Chrysler 300} Ignition Coil Capacitor



Insight will be dim. Photos would help, color of wire too.

Best thing is for you to get out your shop manual wiring diagram, study it a bit along with your wire and soon enough you will figure it out. The capacitor on the coil is a noise filter to keep HV ignition noise out of the radio speaker.

Subject: {Chrysler 300} Ignition Coil Capacitor

 

Hello,

 

I am working on getting my B running and I have a few loose wires that I am not sure what they do or if they are important. 

 

One of those wires is on the ignition coil. It was connected to a capacitor. The capacitor was not connected to anything. I'm assuming if it is supposed to be connected to anything it's a ground. We weren't getting a good spark so I have a jumper from the battery directly to the positive side of the coil. Get a good spark and the car fires quite nicely. Though the key doesn't shut the car off. This is just temporary. 

 

Another wire is more mysterious. It comes across the engine bay from the driver to passenger side. My car has AC so maybe it's for that but I cannot see any plug for it. The plug is not one that shows up anywhere else on the car that I can tell. It is oval/elliptical and has a decent gauge wire coming off of it with a 2-3" rubber boot at the end. 

 

I can take some pictures later but was curious if anyone had any insight.
