yep, ballast is dead. fired up immediately and idled. took the key out and kept going:lol:
surprised me a bit. I forgot what happens when you hotwire a car:rofl:

See, had you followed instructions instead of doing something possibly dangerous like hotwiring, it would not have done all that.

I am glad you figured it out though without gettin you or anyone else killed.
