I'm trying to figure out what this is. I assume that it is a relay of some sort.
It is attached to the bracket that holds the engine cover up on the 2003 4.2L S-type sport.
Can someone confirm that and tell me it's purpose? Is it necessary or can it be bypassed? is the bracket that is embedded in the black box serve as a ground? I'm wanting to relocate it or get rid of it if possible.

Just to reiterate the black bracket that it is mounted to holds up the plastic engine cover. on the passenger side of the motor. It is wired into the wire loom that has the fuel injector plugs.
Here are some better pics of what it looks like.

When these capacitors fail it will disable the ignition (short-to-earth).
We had one in the shop and it took a while to figure out why NO IGNITION!!!!

The wire harness was all original. I removed all the harness sheathing because is was cracking and brittle. Then put some tape around the wires to hold things in place until I decide how I'm going to re-wrap the wires. So in short they were not tampered with.

Seeing as though it is a two wire device, does it ground back through the harness? can I cut off the bracket that goes to the box and re locate it?
