Dan:
   I think you may have hit on the heart of your problem right here.   The 
power for most everything runs through the ammeter.  With time and heat 
cycling the connections on the ammeter can get a little loose.  The loose 
connections cause the ammeter to overheat and melt over time.  As these 
connections continue to deteriorate you can loose power.  It is quite 
possible that you jiggling stuff around under there trying to find your 
problem temporarily made this connection again.

   The ballast resistor can not cause the starter not to spin.  I would be 
very hesitant to take off on a trip with the car in this condition as it is 
likely to act up again an leave you stranded somewhere...

                 Steve B.
