Good questions: I dont know as of yet.. will find out.

But I am pretty sure I dont have a 'blue' wire on the ICM.. green, white, red brown(?) and orange I think..

I did test all the 5 terminals with a voltage meter and found 12.6 volts on all of the approprate places..

starting to wonder if it could have something to do with the pick up (if it is not the coil as Brian is suggesting that such is unlikely)

yet the pick up tested "OK" by the Ohmm meter test, where as the coil, as well as the ballast resistor were both a little bit out of spec..

course my mulit-meter is a 12 volt setup, rather than the 1.5 volt that was asked for in the old manual.. maybe that would change the resistance readings?



Hey.. I do have another ICM.. maybe it is worth a switch out... but the present one is new and all but unused, despite being 2 months old on the truck... why didn't I think of that on my own??????????
