the ones that are hot as is shouldn't go completely dead and the ones hot when you turn the key to "on" then turning the key to start its then in ign2 (crank) to the upsream end of the ballast, the voltage then backfeeds thru the ballast & back into the blue wire ign1 (run) circuit the same way it'd be in ign1 "run" and anything connected to that blue wire circuit tho the ballast reduces it some plus the starter draw significantly reduces everything. while you're at it ohm the coil and the pickup, might as well cover all possibilities
