Slant six not starting Ballast resistor issues? Ignition switch?

I Checked inside the car today by following the blue wire and I disconnected the Ignition switch wiring harness plug AND found my problem right there. The Blue cable was cooked inside (Black and burn) and you really couldn't tell from the outside until you disconnect it. I cut the wire and connected them together (ran it straight). I then tested my ballast with the key on the "ON" position and I finally got light on both sides of the ballast.

After that started the car and ....shes alive!

out of all the years of reading about other peoples mopar electrical problems i never thought or read about a burned Ignition switch wiring harness plug before but i guess its a first time for everything

I'll be looking at the flukes multimeter, missed the auction though

Thank god for my dart finally starting up today. i really needed the extra car because we are expecting a snow storm again here in NY that will last 3 days starting Monday 2-8-16 but I hope they are wrong.
