What is the purpose of the resistor wire (black/green) which runs between the wiper-washer switch (has 8 wires + the resistor wire) and the 12 pin dash cluster connector? ('73 Mach 1- Q- Code, has factory Tach but that's a separate question) It is a black single strand wire, which has green lettering on it "resistor wire do not cut or splice." I noticed the lettering AFTER I cut it to make a repair to it. (Insulation was deteriorated in one area.) I overlapped the wires in a butt connector and mechanically crimped them together. Is this okay?
