I'd cover it cuz the engine compartment isnt the most friendly environment.... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I never put my plastic cap over it again and mines been doing just fine. Just keep stray wires away from it. I dunno why you'd have stray wires in your engine bay anyways so you shouldn't have to worry about it right?!

cover it! alot of voltage is coming from there id wrap it in atleast electrical tape for now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I put the orginal cap on and used elctrical tape just because the orginal one was real small, and metal was still exposed.
