What is This for ?
When you move house and everything is a bit unfamiliar, you look around and sometimes you find a switch on the wall with no clear purpose.
All the other switches are obvious and work as expected...
I have a switch or sensor thing just like that under the bonnet of a Mitsubishi Lancer
A blurry picture of it removed
A less blurry picture of it at rest, bolted to the outside of the thermostat housing
Its open circuit on a meter and I'm looking around for a cause of odd running, the electric fans come on the moment the key is turned,
unless its a rare day when they dont.

150 Ohm resistance plus 0.5uF capacitor in series?
Snubber for noise suppression at a guess. If your meter can read capacitors select that and test between the connectors.

Yes it's just a condenser for noise suppression.

You'd have got an answer on TDW 7 weeks ago if you'd only asked....unlike asking: https://www.mitsubishi-forums.com/threa ... or.262069/

Re: What is This for ?
Yeah, I confused an enthusiast forum with a source of knowledge but there are some unintentionally funny threads on there.

Re: What is This for ?
Feeling rebellious today, so I dragged my covid self into the glorious sunshine armed with a test meter
PhilA is a WINNER!
Eddie Honda is runner up.
I am not a Winner as I probably left the bloody thing disconnected in all the excitement.

Re: What is This for ?
Noise suppression usually involves a sink point through a filter and resistance, that's a fairly nominal set of values.
The ones we have at work for shutting up squealing phone lines range from 0.1u/300R to 1u/100R
I wouldn't expect voltage ratings on sandwich caps like that, though it's likely rated to about 300V
