Kjell Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Hi . Bought a Renix ignition coil/modul from the junkyard. from a Renault 5 early 1990 ich. OEM Renix works great. 20$ It has a cable whit a thingy on it, could it be a radio capacitor?? Should it be connected to ground ? The connector on coil are marked whit + works great without it, but curious about what it has for function Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdog Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 dunno if i've every seen anything plugged into that port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 None of us Renix guys have probably never ever seen anything plugged in there. We do know(Those who know who they are) that if you plug in the underhood light power plug, the entire system will turn on but not crank or start but would keep everything running when you turn off the truck.

When the U.S. did cash for clunkers, people probably got rid of them as soon as they could. Much like how we can't find many Renix era Jeeps any more.
