Hi All,
See pictures

Just replaced the fuel pump on my 1971 series III 2+2 V-12. From the leads clipped on the pump, each goes to a splitter, one of the wires (after the splitter) loops back around to the other lead with a diode/resistor looking thing 'in line' with wax ends. The whole wire is about 4" long at best, the resistor looking thing is about 1 1/2" long, the wire coming out of one end of this 'diode' looking thing broke off right at the wax seal.
Pump is still in the boot spare tire well, not re-installed in fender well yet. Pump does run along with the car without this wire connected.
What is this diode/resistor looking thing and how where would I get a replacement? Is it necessary?
Thanks!!
Mark

 

Mark,

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to E-Type forum. This is definitely one for members with the same model!

Going way back into the memory of previous Jaguars I've owned, could this be something to do with suppression to prevent the clicking of the fuel pump points being heard through the radio?
