Hey guys, probably a dumb question, but what exactly is this thing circled in yellow? And, what does it do? And, now that my wires have been smoked/burnt in the areas circled green, what does that mean for internals? It looks like a little capacitor that comes from the ground of the battery, then passes through this little capacitor (or whatever it is) then goes somewhere further down the wiring harness. Now, the sheathing is all torn up and melted...

I tried to search but couldn't discern what in the world that would be called, and everything igniter related is something different. As always, thanks all

I saw that when I was searching, and I figured that is what it was, but now I got to thinking- why the wires are fried, and what happens if that thing fails, or the condenser is jumped and the two wires are connected?

If it's just for the stereo noise, probably not a lot? Or what's the worst that can happen?
