Hi All,

I noticed a bit of noise through the car speaker system (VS V6) so I decided to test the condenser (capacitor) on the alternator. It was stuffed.

Now I'm wondering, could/would the "electrical noise" that the condenser eliminates effect anything else in the car, after all, modern cars use all sorts of wonderful electronics and some of these may be susceptible to electric noise/RFI ?

Thanks

No.....it's just to eliminate radio/CD noise, especially for the AM band.
