BSW Stage 1 Problems

[hunds02]

I got the BSW stage 1 upgrade kit a year ago and everything was working fine. I noticed earlier this week that all three speakers on the front passenger door (tweeter, midrange, and bass driver) do not produce any sound. I knew they couldn't all went bad together at the same time, so I removed the door panel and noticed that the capacitor (axial 3.3 micro farad 100V capacitor) was loose from the wire. I played with it a little and the speakers on the passenger door would work, but then it came completely loose, as one of the leads snipped off. Does anyone know if this kind of capacitor can be purchased at a store rather than online somewhere?

try radio shack or if there is a electronic supply house in your area.

If that capacitor is still good, sounds like it is just a bad connection, just find someone to sauder it back in place if you can't do so yourself....

The capacitor is still good I believe, but the leads snapped off right at the base so soldering it might break the seal of the capacitor.
Radio shack only has a limited supply of capacitors, I checked like 6 stores already. I purchased 10 online just now, sucks because I won't have time to work on the car until two weeks. Thanks for the input though.
