I am looking for some advice on an electrical ailment my tiger is currently
suffering. I believe I have narrowed the problem down to the solenoid switch
but not for certain. at first I thought it was the ignition switch and after
replacing that, the problem still exists. the car has 12V constant in all
ignition positions and the tach no longer works. either a switch is stuck
(ignition or solenoid) in the closed position or I have a short. when I
remove the white wire from the tach leading to the ballast resistor the
ignition, gauges, engine seems to work just fine (but the tach and ballast
resistor are no longer being use).

questions -
is the white/blue wire from the solenoid to the ballast resistor supposed to
have 12V constant?
are there any other components of the lucas puzzle that I need to rule out
before replacing the solenoid switch?
