the resistor burned at the connection it turned black abound the area where you screw the wires into it. and it also smells has if it's burned. also while it was runing the usually black bracket was turing blue because of the heat.




as far as the this: "Now if you go straight to ground (say because one of the screws is too long and goes to the fender) then the circuit is 12.5=.2R, R=62.5a. Which one do you have?" i'm lost.
