relay 46
Having gone to the dealer twice with DBS, 
I have decided to pull relay 46. (Hope it helps)
Question, Do I have to disconnect the battery cable first or can I safely just pluck out the relay in question?

I plucked mine and it now sits proudly in my glove box. It's more effective there!! I saved it just in case I re-locate to Europe!!

I don't know...before removing #46, I experienced DBS after only 3 days. After removing # 46 I was able to let the car sit for almost 3 weeks without a problem.

But you'd probably need a bunch of 6 speed owners with amp meters and a bunch of time on their hands to accomplish that feat. You'd hope that GM would do it for us.
