Hi folks
Have n front mount 12v converted 2n. Went and changed out a flakey ignition toggle switch and found an equally flakey resister it's the proper behind the dash one. What happens when these fail? I expected them to just be dead when they die. In this case when cold and just starting there's barely enough current through it to light a test light. So if I jumper it the engine will start but only run for a few minutes and it won't be passing any current when the engine stalls. While it's running the test light is bright on both sides. Once I start it (jumping the resister ) engine runs smooth and strong for a while.
