With +12v across it and no resistor, it appears intended to blow. The ABS light will be on when I replace the bulb from what my meter tells me. Hopefully the ABS problem isn't expensive (slim chance). 99 Silver CSVT #1081/2760 97 Nissan Altima 83 Corolla SR5 RWD bondo/rust body 'ghetto cruiser' RIP 78 Winnebago Minnie (Dodge Chassis 23') 440cid 4bbl.

It is under 60 day used car warranty still so I should have no problem. 99 Silver CSVT #1081/2760 97 Nissan Altima 83 Corolla SR5 RWD bondo/rust body 'ghetto cruiser' RIP 78 Winnebago Minnie (Dodge Chassis 23') 440cid 4bbl.
