Ignition Ballast Resistor: Description and Operation
The ballast resistor, (wire type), maintains a specific resistance between the positive (Batt.) terminal of the
ignition coil connector and the wiring harness connector. It is not in operation during engine cranking enabling the coil to receive a hotter signal for starting. Once the engine is running, the resistor is used to protect the coil from voltage overload.
