The 2 outside wires separated from the connectors. Both obviously have something to do with the car starting because now it won’t turn over

The thingy with three electrical posts is the thermal fuse for the a/c compressor protection circuit.

Shouldn't have anything to do with starting/running unless someone ahead of you has really been monkeying around with things.

The connector body often breaks apart. You can reattach the wires to the thermal fuse using ordinary crimp-on/solder-on terminals.

The thermal fuse posts should be marked A B C

A- Black wire
B- Green/brown wire
C- Green wire

That’s certainly a relief. Cars been starting fine the last 2 weeks. Been my everyday ride. Not sure why all of a sudden it is giving me an issue. Cranking nicely just not turning over Right away. I have to crank crank gas gas and it will start but it’s a struggle. Like trying to get little Damien to go into church.

YUP.


Unlike cars with carbs and acceleration pumps FI cars need no pedal.
Application might merely make matters worse, adding air, when less is needed.
