i may be posting this in the wrong spot, & if so i'm sure i'll be told. can someone explain to me, i'm using a resister, dropping 12v down to 6v's, i checked it out and i still get 12v where the 6vs is supposed to be, since i'm no electrition, and not a very good speller either, whats going on? thanks for any help, jerry
Jerry,
You won't see any voltage drop until you put a load on the circuit. Then 6V will be dropped across the load and 6V witll be dropped across the resistor. Jim
Wow! I never knew that and had never checked to see if that was the voltage being received. Really good to know. Thanks!

thanks Jim, i got a relay in the mail, not nos or close to a old relay, sent it back, cost 130, called a old 49-50-51 c;ub, they have what i'm looking for, so they say, guess i'll have to wait and c, what a pain in the butt, again thanks for the info on the resistor, jerry
