no you did not. But it is a source of heat you do not need. Have you ever touched these things when they get hot?



Basically you mention you used the brown wire going to the ignition coil pictured above somewhere along 'A'.

See where it says Ignition 2 start? That is 12 volts to the coil only in cranking mode.

The Dark blue wire Ignition 1 is hot when it is running but not 12 volts when cranking.

It feeds the power to the coil thru the resistor.


Now get this if you tap the blue wire along 'B' without disconnecting the wires from the ballast, during cranking the blue wire will get voltage back fed thru the ballast from IGN2 but at a lesser voltage.

Get it?
