It’s part of the wiring harness for my daughters 6-Volt power wheel. The little connector snapped off so just want to buy a different resistor/capacitor/diode whatever the hell it is. If it comes down to it I could try to solder it back together...

Does anyone know what this electrical component is?

Sounds like it’s time to pull out the 6v hardware and drop in a Hf predator engine.

I'd suspect that it's a resistor and is on the low speed circuit.

It's apparently a fuse:

After several minutes of googling, it looks like a thermal protector. See https://www.ecplaza.net/products/snap-in-thermal-devicesthermal-protector-17am_4358833 or http://electricprotector.com/2018/1-1-amd-thermal-protector.html or https://www.thermalprotectors.co.in/thermostat-protector.html
You could try to figure out the max temperature and install a replacement. Or substitute it with some kind of thermodisk or klixon switch that self resets rather than self destructs.

As mentioned, thermal protector
Klixon is a popular brand name for that type:

I think I was wrong about the operation of that thing. Looking closer at the websites, it does look like that one self resets after power is removed and it cools.

You won't need that when to upgrade to 12 volts!

Of course you do not need any safety devices after you modified the toy. It is not like you care if it catches on fire while your kid is sitting on it.You won't need that when to upgrade to 12 volts!

sheesh, You're right, I converted mine to twelve volts and wasn't worried about mine catching on fire when my kids used it. That could be due to my knowledge about electrical things.

I got my kid one when he was too young, so I made it remote control and of course upgraded the motor and batteries..lol
