/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Hey, wiring noob here.

What is the best way to bypass/solder across the R7 resistor marked in the image?

It's the trunk actuator output in the central locking kit i installed in my car, but it only puts out about 10 mA which isn't enough to activate the relay that will send power to the trunk actuator. Measuring before the resistor shows about 1 A of output which will work.

The soldering iron I have is a bit to big to accurately get in the tight space and solder a wire before and after the resistor, would it work if I just melted some solder across the resistor, covering it?
