Getting rid of AIH relay?

[jvencius]

Other than the mechanical part (disconnect relay and toss it over the fence), is there any harm in completely removing the AIH relay and leaving the wires to/from it disconnected? I'd like to clean up the valley a little bit and deleting that relay would go a long way toward that goal but if I need to add resistors or terminate the wires in some way, I'd like to know that before I get started.

Once that relay is out of the way, I do figure on extending the wiring to/from the GPR and relocating it to the passenger's side fenderwell, somewhere around the vacuum canister. IMO that would neaten things up quite a bit.

There is a "fooler" if I remember correctly... I'll try to find it... But usually it's only a soft code that is thrown... Sometimes the foolers don't even work... I wouldn't worry about it...

John, just toss the relay in your glove box, wont hurt a thing to remove it completely

Are any of the wires hot?

No--my truck has been sitting since ~noon and it's pretty cool and breezy here so none of the wires are terribly hot. :hehe:

Thanks man! No but really do the wires going to the relay have power going through them?
