When i turn the ignition on this part gets hot its got 2 wires that go to it from the ground block is it normal for this to get really hot.
a ballast resistor is just that ....a small coil of wire which creates resistance and drops voltage to the ignition its wired in such a manner that during cranking a full 12 volts is bypassing the resistor to allow for better starts they very seldom fail but do get hot (due to the resistance the create) an will even smoke at times (normal), the have no ground function or feature the attaching bolt is isolated from the electrical workings of the device call or put up more info if you need help Tom![]()
