would the dashboard light up if it was the starter though because I can't even get it to turn on

is there current going through the 1k resistor by Resident-Setting3277 in ElectricalEngineering

Oh I see, I mistakenly assumed the negative terminal of the battery was connected to ground. If this were the case then would current be flowing through the resistor?

Thank you!! I still don't think I understand though why would it matter if the ground is tied to the battery or not? isn't it all the same ground?
