car won't start until I release the key from the cranking position.

OK, probed all poles of the ballast in start and run position.
Blue, turquoise/yellow(these two have a black jumper) and green/red all go from bright to dim: run to start
brown goes dim to bright: run to start.
Looking at the schematic, my ballast resistor appears to be upside down....lol
I'll flip it at halftime and see what happens.
Is that possible?
just looked, not possible due to the dimple on the firewall.
My brown and green wires are opposite of the above schematic
as well as the blues.
