BALLAST RESISTOR

The ballast resistor is mounted on the coil bracket above the ignition coil.

  1. With the ignition switch OFF, connect an ohmmeter between the terminals of the resistor.
  2. Obtain a reading from the ohmmeter and compare it with the specs on the Troubleshooting Electronic Ignition chart in this section.
  3. If the reading on the ohmmeter is zero or not within specs, replace the resistor.
