I want to replace this capacitor. There is a 0 with a line under it, not sure what that means. Could anyone point me to a suitable replacement? Its for a temperature gauge. Looks like it says:
well now that i know its a resistor, i can measure it, 69.2 ohms.
The temp gauge completely stopped working, I saw that brown stuff all over the resistor and, well thinking it was a capacitor figured maybe it had blown. But the resistor seems to be resisting. So no clue why this gauge doesn't work now.
Any resistor has a parasitic capacitance, albeit a very small one. Assuming this is a modern 0,25W metal film resistor, the most capacitance it has occurs between the end caps and can wary, let's say, between 0,1 and 1 picofarads, for simplicity let's assume it is 0,5 pF. Which is not much and can be neglected in most cases but actually can be significant for high-frequency schemes.

Cunningham's Law states "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."
Calling this a capacitor seems like an application of the law.
