Limit of GM Switched ignition for relays?

yeah usually between 50-100 ohms
someone told me something about the inductive load of the light being necessary but i have my doubts. when i put a resistor in line i still only had 1.3vdc on the brown wire and the resistor was too hot to touch and started smoking (which is why i think its an internal short)

ill try calling them and seeing whats up

Resistors should work just fine instead of a light. Or, you could maybe try an L-pad and see if changing resistance matters

Yep, a potentiometer. I've got a few laying around that i use on LED projects for dimming. They're super cheap

500-600 ohm 1/4 watt work well too. And good to know man.
