Checked it out this evening and the ballast resistor feeding the coil had gone out and wasn't allowing any electrical flow. Strange since I had driven the truck a number of times yesterday and all was just fine. I suppose that I will start carrying a spare even if the prior one lasted 5-6 years.
Is it common for ballast resistors to go out from time to time? Cold turkey? Now it works, now it doesn't?
Word hard, play harder, enjoy life!
