Coil/ballast resistor draw drop a whole volt?

WHoops.. yes, I did fuse it. Now that I look at the fuse holder, I may replace it. It is a glass fuse holder (not a blade). It is a 12-gauge, but I don't like how the ends of the fuse are touching by just using a spring. If that isn't an issue, it could be later. I'll change that tomorrow when I run to the parts store.
