Convenient source for the 4.7K ohm resistor needed to actuate Magnum liftgate.

[Jaak]

Trying to make the OEM trunk switch for a 300/Charger (or any pushbutton switch) work for your Magnum's liftgate?

They're everywhere and even Radio Shack's price is a rip off, but 99 cents for the convenience is good...

Ratman discovered the value, great work! It's also listed in the Service Manual, if you know where to look. Check out his thread in the knowledge base as he worked out a great little trick with springs to pop it open, as well as putting together a kit of parts. But if all you want is the resistor, here's the most convenient place, your local Rip Shack.... Take down the catalog number 271-1330 and drop in, the next time you're in the mall holding credit cards for your wife.

4.7K Ohm 1/4-Watt Carbon Film Resistor 5 Pack

Not bad..I see it is a 5 pack for .99, which we only need one correct?

[pigpen]

yeah 4.7 or 1/4 will work fine,

Is it worth the gas to get it? LOL!!! And yes, you only need one, but the others are useful for, uh, er, um... giving to someone else!

does this mean you are NOT ordering my kit???


on a side note, I mistakingly picked up a 4.7k 1/2 watt resistor to build my kits. I have to try it out before building any more.

[Jaak]

1/2 watt's fine, it will actually be more robust and work just the same!

Check PM.

Hey guys, Still trying to find the actual location for the resistor. I'v read the posts, but can't pin point it.

thanks pete

It's supposed to be soldered to either one of the terminals on the switch.

yeah....MY SWITCH!!

It's worth it to someone....

I got a PM (ain't mentioning any names) offering to do the turn signal mod in trade for one of my fine 4.7K 1/4 watt resistors!

This means I still have two left to give away....any other takers? I still have a set of rally stripes to install

[Jaak]

Of course I was joking, but I think an excuse to meet up with another forum member is worth the gas too!

If the drive wasn't so long, I'd come for the stripe install!

[flhthemi]

Yup, any excuse to meet one of these guys/gals is a good one. I vote we all give each other a big atta boy just cause we're such a fine bunch of perople!
