So does it matter where the resistor is installed in the wiring? Or just so long as it is between the two wires? Is there an in or out orientation that needs to be taken care of on the wiring?
Is there a particular resistance value that you recommend?

From the sounds of the post from above, I would simply unplug the harness with the yellow and blk/wht wires--That way it isn't looking for the circuit that it is plugged into for a signal it will never get. Then peel back insulation (maybe 1/4") on the yellow wire and the blk/wh wire. Lay the resistor across the two now bare/expossed wires. Maybe you could simply twist the bare wire around the stiff wire of the resistor. (Remember, you don't care which way the resistor points--there is no wrong dirrection, resistance is the same either way) If you insert the resister they way I describe, you can always put electrical tape over the bare wires, and plug back into the circuit if you decide this project doesn't work. If It does, you then could snip off the connector and end-butt connector the wires to the wire-end of resistor.
As far as the correct resistance goes, I would buy three.
1. 1K (1000 ohm)
2. 20K (20,000 ohm)
3. 50K (I hope you see where this is going
)
Try them one at a time.
