I have no power to the lead wire for the ballast resistor. I have the ballast resistor gutted with a jumper in place. So it is either a connection at the bulkhead, the connection at harness at base of column or the switch.
But you have power at cranking to make it run. The ballast resistor has two power feeds, one after the resistor for crank and one before for run. Do you read power to the crank circuit?
