Resistor gets Hot

Hi, having a problem when I turn on my ignition switch the resistor gets really Hot. Thanks

Overheating of Resistor
When a resistor is placed under a voltage that approaches the upper limits of its power rating, the resistor generates more heat than normal. This is due to the voltage attempting to force more current (electrons) through the resistor than it is designed to pass.
replace resistor

If you are talking about the resistor across the solenoid getting hot then your controller is bad
