    Need help with capacitors?

    Hey everyone,
    I'm going to replace a 15 ohm resistor in my car along with two capacitors. I have to buy the two capacitors before Saturday morning to fix my car for work. What would the capacitors "33uf 35v" and "220uf 35v" be called at pepboys? Would it just be called "33uf" & "220uf" or? I'm new with electronics so please help. Oh an also a piece of the board has lifted its a wire that connects to the hole of where a wire from the capacitor goes in. How would I lay that back down to re connect it? Just glue it or touch it to the capacitor or...? Please don't give me a "replace the tcu from a junkyard and then replace the capacitors" that's not the answer I'm looking for. I'm looking for where at pepboys would I find these capacitors, what are they called and how do I fix my board problem.
    Thank you all for your time and help,
    Antonio

    I would bet that PepBoys (or any other automotive store) wouldn't carry capacitors. You would have to go someplace like Radio Shack to get them. And shouldn't you be replacing a resistor with a resistor? Capacitors and resistors work very differently.

      ? I'm not replacing it with a capacitor? An really? Because I went to a RadioShack store and they told me a Automotive store would have them because they didn't?

        A Resistor controls voltage.

        A Capacitor stores an electrical charge and controls current flow.

        My Radio Shack dosent carry them eather.

          PICS! I'd like some pics so i can help figure out some stuff on that board! but here's what I got without:

          I've recently got into a bit of electronics, so I'll give you a hand. you are going to need a soldering iron, first off. you can't remove or replace either the resistor or the capacitors without one. the "uf" stands for microfarad. the 35v stands for 35 volts. If you can, get new ones that match the uf number as close as possible, but don't be afraid of a slightly higher number. (the closer the better however.) You must match the volts exactly, as the circuit may not be able to handle higher voltage.
          If you have a loose wire that goes the the hole where the cap attaches to, you are going to have to re-solder it in place once you have the new capacitor inserted into the board.

          EDIT:
          I guess I'm lucky, my radio shack carries all kinds of small electronics stuff like this :P

            I cant find the website i bought mine from Its been a year or so.

            But i did find these.

            http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Thru-H...+35v+capacitor

            http://www.amazon.com/220uF-Radial-M...itor+220uf+35v

            I guess if push comes to shove and you cant find them anywhere in your city...

                Oh when I mean a piece of the board is ripped I mean like the little strips that go from one point that is soldered to another. Like it looks like a white line that could connect the electric connection from one part to another.

                      um, a computer shop may possibly have them... but there is always e-bay... lol no, seriously tho, a hobby shop may have them, or possibly a hardware store... but you can get the soldering equip from a shop that sells plumbing stuff. honestly the best i can think of is radio shack... maybe the guy didn't know what you were talking about?

                        Alright thanks for the tips. I'll check out RadioShack again and some local computer and hardware stores, if worst comes to worst, is it possible to drive m car without the tcu in it? Im still learning so please don't tell lol

                              I texted you back. I need a pic of the capacitors some way some how if you have them. Text or on here. My friend just told me he bought a DVD remote from walmart for $8 and it had a capacitor in it that you could make work.

                              EDIT: You just have to modify it he said and itll work.

                              EDIT AGAIN: Sorry man. It was a haggard idea anyways.
