Glow Plug and AIH relays

Hello everyone. My Adrenaline pump arrives today, so I'm jumping in to clean up and get ready. One of the things I want to do is eliminate the AIH relay. I have deleted the AIH, and I want to remove the relay, move the glow plug relay into its spot, then mount my MAP sensor regulator to the available spot. I have no room to mount this regulator, and don't need the relay. I don't know what to do with the wires though?? I thought I would just take the large feed from battery and add it to the same post on the glow plug relay, since they come off the same feed. That makes that one safe. But what about the smaller wires. Figure I could just cut them and seal the ends, but would rather keep them intact. Any Ideas, or should I just cut them and seal up? And will it effect anything? I know now that it stores a code saying the AIH isn't there, all the time. So not worried about a code. But will it effect any of the trucks running stuff?? In other words, is it safe to disconnect all of it?

Most just leave it in the spot to have as a spare. But if you want to remove it then just seal the ends of the wires and tie them up so there not just laying on anything.

So its safe then? Meaning it wont cause the PCM to shut down or cause problems?

No it wont. Only thing it will do is set a code which you already know.

can't you insert a resistor in there to eliminate the SES code/light? I seem to recall a 470Ω resistor?

I know you can put one in for the EBPV pedestal connector but I'm not sure about the AIH. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

yes I have the AIH delete resister that can be used to "remove" the code, RiffRaff sells it also, I also have a AIH plug that I am not using if you wanted to go that route...

Got the riffraff plug with the tap for the boost gauge. Never knew there was a resister. Will look into that.

Speaking of Riffraff, he has a regulator mount that fits on the MAP mount. Wouldn't that be a lot easier?

It would if I hadn't already bought my gear and put it all together. And, all the gear for the engine brake system is on a bracket that replaced that bracket already. So very little room there.
