Default Ok... so I'm taking it apart.

So I took my center console apart, and I unplugged everything (heater controls, 4WD transfer case thing, air bag controls, all that jazz)

Now my question is, can I drive it without this stuff plugged in?

I understand that if I can, I won't be able to switch 2WD to 4WD or be able to control heat and such... but I just need to run downtown tomorrow, and don't wanna have to plug all the **** back in.

*crosses fingers*

You MAY start throwing electrical codes, including airbag codes....that would be bad, and some of them might need to be reset by a dealer (costing you $$$)

This may be a dumb question, and I'm sure you had a good reason, but why did you take your center console apart? I assume this is your new truck?

Why are you taking it apart? This is your new ride?
