i just bought my MR brand new last saturday. i open the hood 2 days ago to take a gander and i see this thing sitting in the corner dangling. i'm picking up my owner's manual on fri...so i have no idea what this is.

whatever it is, it seems like there's a crack in where the 2 sides merge. tech broke it during PDI and didn't mention it? i didn't notice it when i took delivery...

 

it covers a set of fuses that are roughly the same shape as the lid of that red device

 

see attached

 

Goes over the positive battery terminal.

 

It covers this set of fuses, one of which I broke this past weekend. Lost my power windows/locks/mirrors, A/C, and MMCS

 

Flux Capacitor?

 

i had to look it up but that film is now 24 years old

 

Quit calling people old! you're just around the corner baldy!

 

How in the world did you manage that?

 

Positive battery terminal

 

I was trying to tap into a power source for a stupid motorized hide-away license plate frame I was installing. While trying to take the top right bolt off, the whole housing cracked and snapped the fuse as well. I ordered a replacement fusible link from RussellM (I think that's the right part), so hopefully I'll have this fixed next week. Anyone know if there's any harm from driving around with this in the meantime?

Here's the original thread:

I bet one of those are cheap.

 

The evo x has the battery in the trunk, so it can be that.

 

^^ Yeah, it was about $16 + shipping for the part. According to the Evo X service manual, it's called a fusible link.

 

Pics of license plate?! Awesome. (Sorry for your damage though)
