That would be overkill by a factor of 100. 1/4 watt not 25 watt.

Like 1k at 1/4 watt would be just fine, this value is most common in applications like you are about to do.

 

Oh I know it would be Overkill wattage wise... But I can get one locally and don't have to buy 100 that I'll never use... It would work, right?

 

Yes, of course I see your point.

 

Voltage doesn't matter as much as physical size. It just needs to fit in the space.

Basically the PCB is 2 relays that connects one wire or the other to ground. You are adding a new switch to the circuit.

Here is my first foray into Visio:

 

Does the PCB mean the RKE unit or...?

 

yes

 

Gotcha! Thanks again. Picking up the resistor today or tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how it goes :-)

 

Installing today... wish me luck!! I found a hot wire, I just need to find the white wire in C1 (the horizontal connector below the fuse panel) and a good ground and I should be golden...

I'll post again soon :-)
