Default Your electronic knowledge put to a challenge!

Yes that is right! This is somewhat over my head so I need some help here. I know there are some electronic wizzards out there that can figure this out for me. PLEASE.

Here are the circuits I am working with:




I am removing the rear active wing assembly from the system. That includes the motor and limit switch. When doing this, I am told that I will get a red light on the switch (meaning malfunction) and a beeping sound when going over 80 MPH. I know I won't be going over 80 much, but you never know.

My first "old school" thought was simply ground the wire to terminal 28 and the BCM will always think the spoiler is up. Then after reading through the on-line manual, it will probably give me a code of "up limit signal short to ground". Then my next thought was to ground it thru a resistor of some undetermined value. Am I in the ball park here?

To get a better understanding, page 2856, section 23-1 of the on-line manual explains the checks and codes for malfunctions.

My main concern is to eliminate the beeping but also to keep the red light out on the switch. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

James
