with just 1 fuse removed. The only draw back I noticed is that my wing is always up. But this may be due to something else. I also run with no TPS. As a result I have a fully lit Christmas tree on my dash.....J/K only 3 lights on all the time.
BTW my car is a 2005 Limited.....I know the 2004s are set up differently
I believe the wing up problem is from the fuse, I had a dead battery do that before. The battery read enough volts, or close, but couldn't supply the amps. I believe the relay in the wing is naturally open, which means it needs power to stay shut. I would imagine this is a safety issue, so that you arm/hand doesn't get smashed if the rely takes a dump. Concurrently, I noticed that when I use the manual switch to control the wing, you have to hold it down until it beeps when standing still idling. When driving it goes down with a quick press an release. This is why I thought it might be a safety issue, perhaps to stop a pedestrian from sticking their hand under your wing. Not sure, but seemed plausible. I don't know why else the switch would operate that way.
