The bypass is easy, I've done it on 4 different GM cars (3 wagons and a 96 Camaro).
That said, there is apparently more than just putting in a resistor as my current wagon will still occasionally do it even with the resistor (it is smack in the middle of the range too) in place. For me I used the connector this time and all previous ones, I wired it in directly. I think that's my issue, as it most recently did it when it was very cold here, and after the 2nd time I wiggle the connector and then it was fine again (a month later so far)....
