I need 12v

You have effectively bypassed the resistor. There is no way to simply jumper them and maintain the ballast resistor

Ok, I get what your saying.

I believe you can do this with a diode, but you need a big one, say, 10A or so, to be safe. Connect between IGN1 and IGN2 with the stripe end at IGN1

From what I was told, this is no more than 3 amps. This runs the ecu, the big power draw is off a relay. Would I still need that big a diode? Would Napa or someone have those or an electronics store?
