What is the function of the brown square "thing" that the wires pass thru in the fuel level/pump sending assy inside the tank?
I ask because of a strange thing that happened...
My old sender was bad, level sender broken so I got another...salvage part, pulled it from the donor car myself. Same yr etc...
After installing I ran it briefly to test and ck for leaks. All ok. Later after a 3 hr pressure leak down test, the pump refused to run.
After much cursing and testing I discover that somewhere between where the pump/sender assy plug thats on top of the tank and the pump itself, the power signal is broken, So I exchange the intank section of wire harness with the brown box, and all works well.
I test the "bad one" and it has continuity, but it will not run the pump.
So, whats its purpose? :confused A resistor of some sort? a diode? I cannot find anything on this in the FSM elect book...
