Re: Trouble again

You should be able to jumper the ballast resistor temporarily to see if
it's the source of your problem.  But the ballast is supposed be out of
the circuit during starting anyway so maybe that's where the trouble
lies.  I'm not familiar with your car but there should be relay
somewhere that shorts out the ballast while the starter is engaged.
Also, 1kohm seems high to me for a ballast resistor.
