brown wire is only ON directly from ign switch when starting up, rest of the moments is powered just because the ballast resistor works like a splice on it ( being feeded by the blue wire from ign switch ), but not anymore powered directly by ign switch




OK so when I turn the ignition switch to the CRANK position, 12 volts runs down to the Ballast resistor through the Brown wire but then when the the engine starts and the key is released. 12 volt is not running in the brown but it has 12 volts because the alternator is running 12 volts up the Blue wire and Blue and brown are spliced. got it.
I think I have a plan of attack now. THANKS everyone
