That's theoretical case that doesn't match imperical data gathered here. He has already measured input of +12.6v and output of +6.9v across resistor. So we know for sure #1 input +12.6v gets lowered to 6.9v on output terminal #2. This also confirms #2 is not additional/parallel +12 power source.
Yes, he can disconnect #2 output of resistor from ign-switch terminal (similar to diagram I posted above). However, we already know #2 output terminal is not powered, so isolating it won't change anything.
You're right on about grey wire being powered. I suspect someone's tied an additional +12v power wire to grey wire somewhere after ignition switch. Now it's just matter of tracking that sucker down and disconnecting it!
