His thought on how to connect it was to just take the 5th wire and
connect it to one of the other 4 plugs so that one plug would have 2
wires
going to it. This way the comparison circuit would be fooled into
seeing
the same value on all 5 lines.
Won't work, IMHO. The comparison circuit is looking for, let us say,
15A on #1, and 60A on the others. Hooking two plug wires in parallel
is not going to cause it to draw an additional 15A to make the current
balance transformer happy! This thing is measuring current, not
voltage.
The one 5-cyl GP relay I opened is trickier than that, in that #5 has
a separate measurement circuit, bolted onto the side of the old
4-cylinder
design, so it might be possible that the idea could work there in some
form. But I don't know if they're all built that way, and in general
it could not work as intended.
