Rick,
I will echo Mike's comment that I think you previously misunderstood which components were performing which task on the Circuit Breaker/Ignition Resistor/Voltage Divider assembly.
I think if you have a good study on the newly provided wiring diagrams that it should make sense (I can send higher resolution images if you would like).
I have also sorted out the question of the mounting bolt providing a path to ground and therefore a short circuit. The mounting bolt is designed to provide the ground and therefore make the Voltage Divider work! I really had no idea how this functioned until I googled "Voltage Divider"
