After reading lots of threads on the subject, one of the draw backs to feeding the GP relay 12 volts directly and skipping over the resistor is that you can no longer slave your CUCV.
What if a manual switch is installed after the resistor but before the relay.
At one position the voltage supplied from the resistor is routed directly to the GP relay.
At the other position no voltage is supplied from the resistor but instead from a straight 12 volt source.
This way if you ever need to slave your CUCV you can pop the hood and switch it over.
The switch would have to be heavy duty of course to handle the load.
Any one ever seen this done before?
