It also shows as a pink wire on my diagram.
So they used the wires length to drop the current. Or is there somthing else special about the wire?
I gues at the time 10ft of wire was cheeper than a balast resistor and also probably saved some time on the assembly line. I figuer its miniscule savings on a car by car basis but probably adds up prety good over a years worth of production. Good to know there are two ways of solving the amp issue during startup.
