Then the bulb is likely good.

As said, turn the gen breaker on with master off. The gen light should come on.

Dampens the high frequency noise in the electrical system.

I suggest getting an MRA and installing ALS40A104KF025. It uses screw terminals and does a much better job of filtering.

Make sure you install it with the correct polarity or it will pop on you.

I just replaced my old capacitor with the one you mentioned, much quieter intercom and to my surprise the amp meter reading is steady - not jumping around like it did before.

Sure is a big size difference in the new capacitor.

Off topic, but do you have a firewall blanket ?  I don't see one.

Hi. No, i do not have a firewall blanket.   I took delivery of the plane in 2008 in CA,  and shipped it to the Philippines.  I was not able to get the blanket installed in the USA and i also never got around to installing it here.

About a year and a half ago I did an inspection on a CTSW that didn't hve the blanket installed. I coated the the firewall with the fire retardent paint like used on the later CTLS's. The blankets were no longer available.

I have some. Call me next time.

There are many different types of capacitors, but they all work on the same basic principle: two conductors separated by an insulating material (called a dielectric). When voltage is applied to the conductors, an electric field is created. This field stores energy. which is factors that can cause damage to capacitors
