Due to its proximity to the battery, it may become corroded by acid fumes from the battery. In 86-90 model cars, it is a black cylinder about 2 1/2″ long by 1″ diameter with a black/light-green wire. In 91-95 model cars it is a black cylinder about 2 1/2″ long by 1″ diameter with a black/white wire.
