Dangling Connector

[TJMexico]

I was up under the Jeep checking on some stuff and I found a dangling connector right by the starter. It looks like something that should be connected to the starter. I link a video and a photo below. If anybody can tell me where this should go, I'd appreciate it.

It's a 2005 with a 4.0l engine.

For now. I zip tied it to a rubber hose to keep it from dangling. I can find another TJ with a 4.0l engine, I'll have a gander at what's there.

looks like a voltage regulator, should be mounted (earthed) to the engine block.

Coil capacitor.

yup... agreed, coil capacitor (or noise suppression capacitor)

So, I just find a spot to mount it to ground?

should be a mounting point on the block just above the oil filter

Thanks, y'all. I found this, so it'll help.

Thread '4.0 missing mounting hardware for ignition coil capacitor'

Aug 16, 2020

Hello fellow jeepers. So I have a weird issue. The ignition coil capacitor on my jeep is missing the hardware to ground it to the block. I have no idea how it happened, everything was mounted up properly a week or so ago. I went to check my oil yesterday and it was just dangling next to the filter. I would like to figure out what I need to do to get everything secured again. It runs and drives fun still, but it is just annoying. I have attached a few pictures. The first two are of a jeep with everything mounted correctly and the last two are of my jeep. It seems like there should be some...

I have had a strange even happen three times in the last couple of weeks. All three times, on bumpy off-road, the motor just died. Didn't loose electricity (fan blower and radio kept working). I just slipped it into neutral and turned the key and she fired right back up.

Might this have been the cause?

Doubt it
