Mreid is talking about this guy right here. This is a pic of my starter solenoid. I do not have a ballast resistor, and pulling that wire does nothing on my car. The ERA wiring harness just comes with it (in case you need it) so it gets hooked up to the solenoid whether you have a ballast resistor or not.
