Part ID? This fell off my car...

[dpotter]

I was driving yesterday, heard something hit under the passenger side rear wheel, saw it come out behind the car and watched where it rolled so I went back and collected it. Not sure what this rubber plug thing is. Need to replace and wanted to know how important it is since this is my only car.

The numbers read (top) CA 11, and below that is: F3LE-6C070-AB

Thanks in advance for any help with what this is and where it goes. I looked but did not see another one.

Thats the cap to the blinker fluid reservoir. Have you noticed a slow down in your signal lights? :D

I personally never seen that part on my car. Im doing nothing today, maybe Ill explore.

Looks like a body plug (to drain water). Jack it up and crawl under to see if ones missing.

That is the plug that is in the drivers side of the engine.
You remove it to access the torque converter nuts.

Tomorrow take it to your dealer parts department and ask what it is and where it came from and get a new one. Better to be sure than sorry. Dennis...still go and get a new one. I just read Zack's post that beat me by a second. If anyone knows, he does. He has more time inside Marauder running parts than any dealer service tech in the country. LOL

Zack nails it again. :up:

Zack, that makes sense. Thanks man!

[dpotter]

W4LTD, thanks for the pic. Even though Zack told me exactly what and where it was, I mean exactly, I was looking but had a hard time finding it. Your pic helped.

Done, she's back in place and fits tight! Not sure how that came out it was so tight.

You guys are awesome, thanks again and especially Zack. He has not once, ever, not answered when I called. That's tech support at it's finest!

An answer in under an hour! Name another rare car forum that can do that. This site rocks.

I thought it was a freeze plug. But he never specified if it was freezing outside.
