    2014 Z520c console wiring help

    I had to pull out the previous owners, rewiring of the boat. It was a mess to say the least and not even closely related to what the diagram shows. I’ve got all the wiring removed and fixing to start wiring it all back factory. However, I’m unsure as to what the two capacitor looking items are and how to implement them into the wiring. Located to the right of all the spade terminals in front of the brain box.
    Maybe I’m looking over them, but they don’t seem to be represented on the factory wiring diagram. The boat does have the added key switch and a wire from the back of the key is running to the right, I’ll call it capacitor. Wondering what they are and how to correctly wire them.

    It appears like these are not factory wired. The factory would not crimp connect 2 wires together with 1 ring terminal, like you see on the left "capacitor". My guess would be that it was wired to use a key but maintain all other keypad functions. It you use the emergency key purchased from Ranger, you connect that up to the keypad pigtail but then lose all other keypad functions. Hence, the key use is supposed to be for emergency use only.
