plug connectors

The resistor is built into the plug (if it has one). Those little connectors are just that - connectors - to allow the plug to be used with both types of plug wahr sockets.

I didn't know that little screw-on thingee is a resistor.  It seemed to me 
to be just an adapter piece for different cars.  Interesting.

IMO, your wires are fine.  It's those jap plugs that are wrong.  All the 
plugs I've worked with for my cars (all Bosch) have had a removable 
"resistor".
