Ummmm... a capacitor . Although it is common for DC circuits have a CAP across the supply voltage to regulate voltage spikes, more for component protection, I would have to think the designers take this into account when developing the car.




I was more wondering if they actually put a capacitor in there or just terminated the pair of wires.

The battery itself is a large capacitor, it's not going to generate spikes. The alternator however will, but that's why there is a regulator on it's output.
