i removed the heaters from three of our 2006's on the first one i removed everything including the relay it set off the check engine light and code 541 as shown on smarty jr i measured the anp draw of the relay it was 0.8amp i found a 20 ohm 10 watt resistor and hooked it up to the two controll wires reset the codes with the smarty and no problems the next one i tried a 25 ohm and it set the code off i scrounged around and found a 16 ohm and a 15 ohm i installed them and no codes after that on any of them , the ecm must see near 0.8 amp draw to the small black wire with the yellow tracer when it calls for grid heat the best i can figure

OK, I did this today. I installed a GDP airhorn & a Winspeed grid delete. I disconnected the thick black cable from the grid heater and also disconnected it from the battery. I did not notice any other wires. I started it to take it for a quick cruise this evening (52* F). No CEL light. Where are these other wires?
Thanx.
Thanx.
