Default Re: Ballast resistor.

We need to know if this is a stock 6-volt system. Resistors use some power to drop voltage and control current since they are a load device. They will get hot so they use ceramics & place them on a board that can take some heat. Ford generally placed the board in an area where they will be somewhat protected from hazards.
