I do have a master switch, it is located in the trunk at the +post of the battery. It is used only for security (removable key) and I have never operated it with the engine running.
Thank you all for your assistance...I am ready to call Accel/Mallory and use their best quality parts. I'd rather spend the $$ on good parts than on towing/transporter fees. New module, new ballast resistor and the protective device mentioned by Bob C...plus a second control module for a spare, I think...
Just curious...I did try to measure resistance on the ballast resistor and do not know if I used the correct range option...what kind of numbers would indicate acceptable resistance in Ohms? My experience with Ohms is all related to my lifelong interest in audiophile gear and numbers like 4, 8 and 16 Ohms are common...probably not the figures I should be expecting in this application.
Thanks, again, everyone!!!
Cheers to you all!!
