1'' of garden hose fits nicely over the main harness for a temp fix and its alot easier than disabling the system
Same place i began to melt my main harness and where InfoJunky melted his stranding him ontop of a mountain in the middle of nowhere.
Sorry cant answer any of your questions on whether the system is completely and safely dissabled. Looks like youve already found the thread for dissabling and fooling the system w/ the resistor. I put a piece of industrial hose around the loom and its been fine for over a year now.
