Default 2014 Electrical Canister in air box? Keeps falling off mount

There is some kind of electrical canister with a wiring harness in the air box (wish I had a better way to explain it). It slides into a thin mount that has no lock or secure way to hold it in place. It keeps coming loose and then bangs around my air box. I am sure it is only a matter of time before it fails taking such abuse.

The mount has no way to firmly secure the canister. What have you guys done to keep it secure?

That's your starter solenoid. Clean it and the rubber grommet that it slides into real good and then glue it in there with some ultra black silicone.

At the risk of sounding dumb (probably too late for that). Tie it to what? Once you slide it over the mount there is nothing left to attach a tie to?

Default starter solenoid

Cleaning the mount, and bracket and using some type of emblem adhesive before sliding on sounds like a good idea.

Here's mine. Hope that helps.





Normally I would have gone between the wires on the plug to keep the wire tie in place but I think this was a trail fix.

Here are the pics. The first is the "canister" sitting on top of the air box. You can see the little slit where it mounts into the air box. The second picture shows the mount. The canister simply slides over this mount and nothing holds it in place. When you hit some whoops or get aggressive, it just slides right off and rolls around the air box (not good). The 3rd picture is how I modified it to stay in place. I basically zip tied it to the wiring harness and tried to keep it out of the way.

Anything wrong with using the wiring harness as an anchor point?
