Capacitor rating (the one that attaches to the slave cylinder)

Capacitor rating (the one that attaches to the slave cylinder)
Anyone have the rating for it?
The case says 0.47/250
My guess is thats .47 picofarad (a .47 farad would be MUCH bigger) at 250V. I am trying to find it on the wiring diagram.
Reason I ask is, I broke another one. My guess is it helps filter noise from the system (some say it affects the oil pressure gauge, I doubt that..). If I can get the ratings on it, I could probably buy a replacement and make one myself.
Anyone?

You could very well be right, I dont know off hand the correlation between DC rating and size. I am just reading whats on the case.
The cap tester I have at the shop wont tell me what the ratings are, you have to input them to test the cap. And for some reason I cant locate it on the wire tab..
Any ideas?
*edit*
even if I found it, the FSM wont provide me with the specs on it...

Well, there isnt an answer yet. I just went and tested the one out of my car (with the broke wire) with a multimeter. I get no resistance readings whatsoever. If it was a cap, I should have gotten an initial resistance reading until it charged. IF it was a resistor, well, I should have gotten a reading.
Anyone want to volunteer to test thiers? Mine might be bad.

you need a capacitance meter to read it, not a ohm meter.
And its a polar .47uF cap. I tested one myself

No matter, do you have a part number for replacement? 47uF at what voltage?

Icemark says it's a .47uF, and if it says 250, it's probably 250V.
It seems weird that he would say it's an electrolytic with those ratings though. The ratings seem much more in line with a poly cap.
Something like the P10628-ND on the first page of this PDF:

Would be what I would replace it with.

Correct me if I am wrong, but shouldnt caps at least test resistance as they are charging?

.47uF
And there would be no resistance on a polar cap. As far as the cap is concerned it is not electrically connected to anything on the other side.
And the voltage is immaterial. Anything over 20 volts is probably fine. The volatge rating on a cap is just for tolerance. A 250 volt rated cap just means that it can handle 250 volts DC before it looses tolerance. A 20volt cap, would be able to go to 20 volts before it looses tolerance.

is that it on page 50-22 of the FSM wiring manual? between the two coils... I've always wondered what that sucker did also...also in the same circuit as the injectors....

Hey, I am gonna ship your wiper motor today too.

Ahhh did I win that from you???? Yeah, I am building a 2nd test bench, for testing wiper switches. The first one used light bulbs, and then I plugged it into my car for final checking. This new one will work motors on a bench, so I don't have to open up my car everytime.

Excellent info!
