I'm trying to figure out my electrical. The wiring diagram in the Haynes manual (fig 10.28) hasn't been as helpful as I would have hoped. On my coil's low tension terminals, I have the white/green and the white/black, which I've seen clearly documented.
There is also a black wire on the negative post and a broken terminal lug on the positive post that I believe went to a red wire. The aforementioned red and black wires go to a black heat sink assembly with a power transistor on top. There is also a purple wire coming from the heat sink assembly which seems to have been going nowhere. Based on the sloppy terminal crimps and tie wraps, I think it's safe to say that a PO was doing some home electrical work.
Anyone know what that heat sink assembly might be? If it's located on the wiring diagrams I've looked at, then I'm not seeing it. I've been an electronic technician type most of my life so I can handle tech talk and read schematics.
