TAC wiring ?

Can the wires from the TAC module to the pedal be lengthened without any adverse effects? I am needing to make mine about 15" longer, and was hoping to just splice them in the middle to the desired length. They just see voltage, correct? A little extra resistance from the splices shouldn't hurt anything, will it?

Re: TAC wiring ?

De-pin the connection, run the whole wire a new length and then re-attach. Thats ideal if you can, because then you do all the soldering off of the truck...the rheostat style sensors on the pedal don't like a ton of heat (I welded a pedal extension on and had to be VERY careful to not overheat the sensors). Additionally, running a whole new length of wire prevents any additional resistance across the solder connection and/or changes in wire gauge.
