Instantly eh..... heh heh

My 12v must be quite different in Hawaii......

I connect 12v thru a 10K 1/4w resitor DIRECTLY to GROUND and it just gets a teenie tiny bit warm.....

Oh well..... Hawaiian 1/4 watt resistors are just plain TOUGH, I guess.

BTW: here's a Calculation of the circuit 12v through 10K

12 ----- Voltage or volt E or V = volts V
0.0012- Amperage or current I = amperes, amps A
10000 - Resistivity or resistance R = ohms Ω
0.0144- Wattage or power P = watts W

less than 2 hundredths of a watt.... not NEAR 1/4 watt. (Direct short to ground)

BTW, the Yaris and Scion are basically the same and the project was for my Scion. (which might be the reason for the bulb connector hi/low difference) I just thought I'd try this forum to get some help, and 2 people gave me information that enabled me to solve a very small, but vexing problem, to me.

Thanks Again Guys!


MiniTRD and CTScott U Guys ROCK !!!
