What is this? Ballast Resistor?

This was under the air filter box, behind the left hand side headlight on my 1993 B2200 fuel injected. Looks ceramic, has 2 wires, one wire has an inline fuse. There is also a 4 pin relay on the same bracket.

I have a 1992 EFI B2200 and do not have this contraption in my B... Not sure what it is.

Comparison Pic:

Just wondering, are there any numbers on your ignition coil? Its common up here to use a 6v coil and a ballast resistor to reduce voltage to coil to 6v. When starting they bypass the resistor to send 12v to coil for a bigger spark. Helps cold starts when its way below freezing.y

This is the only pic I have on my computer that shows the coil. IDK if it helps but you can see it on the driver side by my PA speaker.



EDIT: ZOOM!

Are you in Canada? Didn't Canadian models come with day time running lamps?

Whaaaa! I would love some factory daytime running lamps. Great info Sin! I hope this is true, I didn't know this before. I might have to get a factory DTRL unit from someone in Canada.

I am in canada, i do have daytime running lights. They are usually high beam running on 6volts, that could be it. Will have to check wiring with a multimeter, that would explain the 10a fuse in the wiring too.
