High Charging Rate. Found Voltage Drop Need Guidance Please
Yes the trigger should be fine

O.K. guys I got my Pico connectors from Steve (4spdragtop). What a guy! I got back at my issue(s) this morning.
I was thinking that the bastardized wire terminal at the ballast ignition side would be the culprit but no such luck. Repaired I still had the usual voltage drop.
So I decided to go the relay route. All looked good as the blue ignition wire triggered the relay and I had battery voltage in the relay output wire to connect to the ballast. I setup a 3 way piggy back terminal for the ballast ignition side. 1. Batt. power from relay 2. Power wire to ECU from harness. 3. Wire to regulator from harness. I installed a new ballast resistor Mopar 209....
Ballast ground= .4 ohms.
I plugged everything in. Key on: the new ballast resistor started to smoke which I know is typical. I killed the power (key off) and thought I would check out resistance at the new ballast. Bare: Got zero ohms each side. Checked the old ballast. Same thing so might be my meter not measuring very low ohms. However I checked the top side coil wiring (disconnected) and got 21.6 ohms. I plugged in the coil side wiring to the ballast and got the same 21.6 ohms and 22.2 ohms on the ignition side (bare). I don't know what to make of this. Normal/Abnormal? Problem?
I didn't try to start the engine. It turns over as it should though with everything disconnected from the ballast. I need an opinion/guidance on whether I potentially have a new problem that has surfaced before I try a start up. Thanks!!
