columbia ?
Can you run a 42-48 shift solenoid on 12 volt, being that it is a momentary connection.

Re: columbia ?
I would run the hot wire through a resistor. G.M.

Re: columbia ?
I have a new ballast resistor part # D1110-A, for a corvette, is this compatible?

Re: columbia ?
I doubt that a ballest resister will carry the current.I would try the resister designed for heaters or radios. Phil

Re: columbia ?
Try it and see how hot it gets. G.M.

The first generation mopar electronic ignition has a dual ballast resistor ---one or both of them can be used ---series for more ohms ---I have used these to fake out lamp modules when led lightsare retrofitted |

Re: columbia ?
tried a echlin ( napa) VT-6184 12-6 volt reducer, 12.2 volt in 12.2 volts out. does a volt reducer actualy drop voltage or just adjust ohm's.

Re: columbia ?
Only when it is under load will you see a change in voltage, in an open circuit there will be no reduction in voltage

Re: columbia ?
You have to measure voltage across the resistor. It will always show system voltage at the output end but will measure correct voltage across the resistor.
