well just like the title says. :wtf2: i recently fixed and charged the a/c system which is awesome cuz its been five years without a/c in the car. and as i leave work i start the car and notice there is a bad plastic smell and i see white smoke from under the hood, i immediately shut the car off and popped the hood only to find that some kind of electrical thing was burning like a bic lighter in my engine bay. Now for the kicker everything on the car works lights radio a/c blinkers. my speedo even decided to work for a day after this happened. my problem is i have no clue what it does or what i can do to fix it. ive gone through the fsm about 4 times with no glimmer of hope so im sending it to nico in hopes someone has seen this before. the car did have an alarm that i cut out. here are the pics
:confused:

ok well after looking over the fsm on a fresh brain i found it it is a condenser resistor and supposedly it helps with radio static? i dunno to me it doesnt do much but id rather burn 10 of these than something bigger. posted this for any one else in need of a reference on this.
