Chrysler Repair: wire with Small black capsule in Lebaron 87 engine compartment, side kick panel, logic module


Question
Hi Roland,

I have a Lebaron 1987 (Mexican) 2.2 Turbo II.
I was wondering if you could help me with the use and position of a wire with a Small black rectangular capsule in the middle of the wire. One end is Black with a White stripe and the other end is White. It was originally located near the "Main Power Feeds", but I am not sure if it is a resistor to ground for the output coming from the alternator in order to reduce from 15V to 13V for charging the battery. Also if you could please tell me the colour code for connecting the speed wires coming from the speed sensor and where those cable end (position).
Thanks in advance.
Alex.

Answer
Hi Alex,
The one item I see in the wiring diagrams is a 'diode' with a white wire and a black stripe wire (the overall color might appear white?) which is associated with the park/neutral safety and back-up lamp switch on the transmission in association with the back up lamp circuit. There is an 8-pin natural color disconnect behind the battery which should have a white wire on one of the pins and to which you would attach the white wire, and white stripe wire would go to the ground for it on the center top of the transmissiom if this is an Automatic. Let me know if it is an automatic transmission.
The transmission distance sensor, located on the trans extension housing, is shown as both wires being black in color, go to a disconnect with black and white/orange wires, and those go to the same 8-pin natural color disconnect behind the battery where the black becomes black/light blue on the other side of the connector and that goes to a multi-wire splice for several sensors (the sensor ground wire splice) and the white/orange to pin 9 or the red connector at the logic module in the cabin near the right side kick panel.
