The resistor wire coming out of the Ignition switch is the bal;last resistor.

You might want to try the Autozone repair guide section that they have online.

Ballast resistors will melt and become an open circuit

It is nothing more than a fusible link wire.

using a Mopar BR will work fine with an 12 or 14 Gauge wire.
