What is this and should the yellow wire be soldered to it?
Any ideas on preventing the wire from detaching again?
I checked the C150 parts manual but didn't see it. Is there somewhere else I should be looking, or did I just miss it?

$\begingroup$ Whats under door #1? that looks like it could be a cable connection cap, could be an antenna connector. Showing us whats under the cap could be of big help. $\endgroup$– DaveFeb 18, 2019 at 15:45

That is a fuseholder for the optional clock or optional Hobbs meter. The yellow wire probably should be connected to it but you should have a certified mechanic inspect it.

2$\begingroup$ Interesting to see the free wire maybe the one directly and permanently connected to the battery anode. $\endgroup$– minsFeb 18, 2019 at 17:00

$\begingroup$ Thank you! Where did you find this? I couldn't find it in the 1965 POH or parts manual. $\endgroup$– ZazFeb 19, 2019 at 10:29

$\begingroup$ I recognised it as a fuseholder and had a hunch it would be for a Hobbs meter. I then did a Google search and found multiple references. $\endgroup$ Feb 19, 2019 at 14:22

$\begingroup$ Sorry to bother you, but I have a couple of questions: My plane has a wind-up clock and no Hobbs; also, there's no voltage between the wire and the cathode or anode. What does this mean? Could it be the generator fuse that is no longer used now the plane has an STC alternator? $\endgroup$– ZazMar 21, 2019 at 1:28
