Hi all. Just wondering what this is, what it should look like, and what its purpose is. It looks like there’s a wire missing. The wire on the right is attached to the clip.
I don't know what it is but it's correct and there's nothing wrong there's a few of these on quite a few Toyota models I don't know if there's some kind of a ground business or if that little square thing that is plugged into is I don't know what electrically Don't really care but I know you don't want to go cutting and hacking and messing with that stuff
If it's a noise filter like high mileage garage says then it just cleans up signal noisy dirty signal electrically some kind of a filter I know there's quite a few of them throughout the car and I just leave them alone I don't think they're things that will really go bad and create serious issues they're like noise filter canister
it suppresses electrical noise caused by the ignition coils. If this fails you could hear a background noise in your AM radio that varies with RPM.
