But the other 99% of the time, they never come on until i switch them on.

How hot does that resistor get?

I dont know...being that they're laying under the dash. I didnt feel any heat when I tested them for a couple minutes before putting everything back together, though.

just pull your stereo out get a long wire and push it up to the hole. then have the other person up top to grab it and twist it into place.

I managed to get the dash off today (after cussing a lot) only took 15-20 min. That passenger side is a beach! Only took 5min to find and plug the sensor. All is well and done, except the super glue that I will be purchasing in the A.M. Thanks for the help.
