Think it was the emergency flasher that I was taking pictures of and just now, when I zoomed in, I noticed what seems to be a DIY resister. Maybe not. Looks suspect. Any ideas?

Just a wild ass guess, but maybe that sets the flasher relay duration? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel Group: Members Posts: 2,707 Joined: 3-February 03 From: Massachusetts Member No.: 224 Region Association: None |
The resistor is hooked to the instrument lighting circuit and is used to make the light in the knob glow when the lights are on.
