NEED HELP WITH IGNITION PROBLEM ON MY 83 DODGE RAM

[BLACKWOLF]

MY 83 DODGE RAM QUIT ON ME. IT WILL ONLY RUN AS LONG AS THE THE STARTER IS RUNNING. IF I TURN THE KEY BACK TO RUN IT DIES. I HAVE CHANGED THE IGNITION SWITCH ON THE COLUMN AND THE STARTER RELAY ON FRAME RAIL. THIS HAPPENED AFTER I DROVE THROUGH ABOUT 6 INCHES OF WATER. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

Try a new ballast resistor.

BTW, no need to shout.

THANK YOU JOHN, SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS. I EVEN WRITE IN CAPS. LOL! FOUND THAT THE SPRING INSIDE OF MY BALLAST WAS BROKEN.
