Renix Ignition coil.

[Kjell]

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

[jdog]

dunno if i've every seen anything plugged into that port

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.

Information taken from the 1988 Premier Electrical Manual. Only reference I found on capacitor. Under Radio section.

I think you answered the "WTF is that terminal used for question".

[Kjell]

Hi Ωhm !  . I think i leave the thingy unconnected ... now that i got the Comanche is running  

The local sparepart store price for the Ignition modul is 300 dollars  and probably noname made in China!

Yeahhhhh I have never seen an American Renault in my life and probably never will. 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.
