A few questions in trying to get the steps down exactly.
(1) The original procedure by ponchonutty mentioned cutting the yellow wire before starting the car. But AF_Dali stated he cut the wire after starting the car. If the wire is cut with the car running, won't the security light come up and will it turn off after the correct resistor is installed? Do you install the resistor with the car running or leave the car running just long enough to get the resistance value.
(2) I've read elsewhere of putting in any resistor value and having the car relearn. Any risk in doing that and the car not relearning or is the main problem the time it takes to relearn.
(3) Stupid question - I assume when measuring and soldering to the black wire, you are doing so after pealing back the cover off the wire somewhere in the middle of the wire. I know you don't cut it.
