What is more flammable, water or gasoline...

Wtf, is this a ford test? This was a question on my electrical midterm at a NATEF school

"What does a ballast Module do?"
A. Keeps the vehicle afloat when crossing high water.
B. Provides extra weight for braking.
C. Produces the initial charge to get a HID lamp to emit light.
D. Inflates the airbag

Easily its A... I mean when I cross high water my ballast is always full so I float.

lol nope, straight from the book.

This midterm was a joke in itself though, we just did all the book tests instead of having a real ASE test for it.

Not the question... your answer...

If your ballast tanks are full you do not float, YOU SINK !!!!!!

What if they are full of foam? or air? ;)

Generally surrounding water, no?

But yeah, that test is ridiculous with questions like that.

Sadly, I would have missed that. To me you DO fill your ballast to keep your sailboat upright in high seas, if it was a ballast you could dump/fill.

I even have self installed HID's in my E30, and it didn't hit me. Glad this wasn't my test.

I don't think on a boat they call it a "module"

I bet you're right, plus I've never heard of one on a sailboat you could dump/pump the water out of. Submarines, obviously - but not a sailboat.

Sadly I'm just old enough that 'modules' aren't a term that automatically makes me clue into a headlight system. If I was even 5 yrs younger it might be different, but sadly being from a coastal state & my age makes me go right to sailboats when I hear the word 'ballast'.

I'll file it away for future knowledge.
