'82 240DL with Kjet--Can I jumper the power to my coil around the wiring harness cancer at the connectors on the starter solenoid? It seems that the brown wire that goes to the "+" on the coil is supposed to come from the ballast resistor--where is the ballast located?--I can't seem to find it anywhere, but would like to jumper directly from it to the coil to get around the area that the wires have shed their insulation at the starter end of the harness, which disappears behind the fuel distributor & I can't get at it there. The white/red wire on the "-" seems to be intact and healthy--I think it goes to the ignition control unit behind the passenger side headlight. Anyone done this before?

Thanks,
John
