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