Sldghamr, you dont need it where you are anyway. Just unplug it and forget about it. I unplugged mine up here in norcal and I know it gets colder up here than in Santa Rosa

thanks guys, my truck is stranded a mile down the road. my roommate gave me a ride to get more fuses. will be back in awhile.

we unplug ours here in Alaska. its warming up now its only -18.5° and no problems yet. we hit -30 the other day and that is rare in Anchor Point.

is there a connector not too far from the white plug?? that is what i disconnected cuz i couldn't get the white plug to disconnect.

the one not to far I think will split off and go to something els also (I would have to look at mine to be sure) but if you wiggle and jiggle the plug it will eventually come out. you could even pry it a little with something as you should not need to hook it back up.

i can't see far enough to make sure that it is a "white" plug.
