Burnt out resistor on dash wires

[4yuckfous]

Somebody knows, that
I had in the dash wires a small resistor, the size is about 10 mm long,
this resistor is soldered directly on the wires, without a bracket/holder, nothing.
Nobody can explain me exactly, for what this resistor is.
I need the technical specification to change the defective resistor.


Thanks and greetings from Switzerland.

no clue , what color wire is it attached to ?

[4yuckfous]

I don't find my f.... notes.
I will check this today.
There is only one resistor soldred directly in the hole dash wires.

Do you happen to have a picture? I have a feeling someone messed with the wiring in your car.

I have seen this done in an attempt to calibrate gauge readings, but this is just a guess.  We can't really tell what it may have been for until we know more about the wire.

Doesn't the "key in buzzer" use a resistor or diode type setup? I remember looking at it while the dash was out and it seemed to be connected to the headlight buzzer or key in buzzer circuitry.

A resistor should have coloured bands around it. These determine the resistance and the silver or gold band indicates % accuracy for the resistance level itis supposed to be. Let us know the colours reading from the gold or silver band and I can tell you the value. However, to the best of my knowledge, Mopar did not ever put a resistor in the wiring other than the ballast resistor on the ignition.

The supply line has the following colors:
2 x red wires and 2 x black wires with yellow tracer
then the 2-pole connector
on the other side from the connector 1 x red wire and 1 yellow wire with black tracer

On the sticker are the following numbers and letters:
W 96555
2983 595

The letters and numbers on the resistor are not more readable.
Around the resistor (resitors) is a cotton tape.
I don't dare to take away the tape.

Thanks for your support

I found it again in the wiring diagram.

[4yuckfous]

Does somebody know about this diode ?

Thanks Andrea

[Chryco Psycho]

well it is clearly a factroy parts & is plugged into the headlight warning buzzer obviously so currnt only flows one direction , not sure what value the diode is as far as curent load but it should be easy enough to replace the diode

[MEK-Dangerfield]

The diode should have a number on it. Can you see anything?

[4yuckfous]

Sorry but the diode is burned out, the letters are not more readebel.
On each side from the wires is a half part from the diode.
