Heyman Reese have been in aftermarket towbars since forever.......

thats right, the electronic "points" dizzy does NOT have a ballast resistor, because it manages the dwell time, ie analogy of "points closed" before they open for the spark. Thats why the coil always has direrct 12V. If IGN is on, and engine not rotated, the dizy will switch off the "points" (switch...

a lot of emotive untruth in there, obviously hoping you'd be too lazy to check the sources. The U.S. Geological Survey assessment says 3-4.3 billion barrels. The 500billion is purely unsubstantiated, and a draft study. 4.3billion is nothing to be excited about. Google US oil consumption and you find...

Have you shorted the other side of the connector in the engine bay to check that the lights work? Apply 12V isn't good enough as you've only checked the output of the connector, not the power supply side. yes at the connector there is +12V and the Brown/Y wire, so I put a jumper wire on those conne...
