What the heck is this?
 

Total guess, but it looks a bit like a ceramic ballast resistor for an old-style ignition setup. What's the year & model?

97 Cobra, I'll check the harness tomorrow...

Ford uses that style of resistor for the cooling fan sometimes, but I don't recall that on a Mustang.

Are there any I.D. numbers stamped on it? If so, I might be able to work from that.

Bracket: F6ZU-90360-AB

White thing:
IRC 9702
F6ZU-90358-AA

Thanks Ed

Could the "0" in the middle of those two numbers be something else, a "D", or another letter?

Generally when the number is structured like that, it will have a number, a letter, then 3 numbers ... 9D360 maybe?


thx,
Ed N.

Yes, I think it's a D. When I tried a search on F6ZU 9D*, which will give me everything that starts with that I.D., I got a fuel pump resistor and bracket that mounts up in the inner fender as you have in the photo, service part number F6ZZ 9D360 AA.

Do you need a replacement, or are you just curious as to what it is?

Thanks for the info. Just wondering what it is. I've never seen one on a car before and I'd dismantled a few Fords... 94 and 90. My brother didn't even know...

About the part numbers, was using blurry pics so I made my best guess but you're the expert. :teeth:

Looks like they didn't start that until 1996 on the Mustang, with the modular engines.


17 years of being a Ford parts guy teaches one to be creative when trying to find info in the catalogue. :2:
