Subject: Re: White-Pink wire meltdown?
The 'other' end of the ballast wire joins internally to a white wire
that
comes out of the loom by the fusebox. Although the ballast wire itself
is
pink it comes out of the coil end of the loom as a white/light-green
(white/light-blue on a factory V8), and this colour also goes on to the
solenoid. If this wire is shorting out then the car would not run
properly,
or at all. The coil used on this system should measure about 1.5 ohms
primary resistance, and the loom ballast resistance about the same. If
the
loom ballast wire is burnt then you should find the cause first, then if
replacing it is probably easier to purchase a conventional ballast
resistance of the correct value and wire it in with white (fusebox) and
while/light-green (coil and solenoid) wires then trying to get the
correct
length of the correct grade of resistance wire.
