These clips are really just for holding things secure. Usually wiring harnesses, connectors, or even sometimes coolant hoses. They keep things from moving around, chafing, or getting damaged by road vibrations or heat. They come in a ton of different shapes and sizes depending on exactly what they're holding. Think of them like little anchors. They’re part of the overall electrical and cooling systems, but aren’t really a “component” in the traditional sense. They don’t do anything mechanically, they just hold things where they’re supposed to be. If a clip fails, it won’t immediately stop your car from running, but it will allow whatever it was holding to move, potentially causing problems down the road. You’ll notice if one breaks because whatever it was holding might start rattling around, or you might see a wire hanging loose. It’s one of those things where it’s cheap to fix now, but can become expensive later. A loose wire could short out, causing a bigger electrical issue. A hose coming loose can lead to leaks and overheating. They act like a shield, protecting more expensive parts from damage. They're often overlooked, but essential for keeping everything working smoothly. You can find a good selection of these over at Fixparts Online, and it's a good idea to replace any that look cracked or broken during other maintenance.
