CAGS Bypass Harness or Fuse?
I drive an '07 Z06. I need the CAGS bypass, but not sure if it is better to purchase and install the CAGS Harness or the CAGS fuse. I have read that some people have had the "check engine" light come on when the fuse is installed.
Please help.

I saw the Fuse from Corvette Mods and thought that is really cool and i don't need a lift for installation. Again, some people said they did this option and got the "service engine" light.
I don't mind paying Chevrolet if people think the fuse is a bad idea.

I have the $20 bypass and have had no problems but there are some that have reported problems with the blown fuse. In my case, I have a 4-post lift so the installation was a breeze. Since you don't have an easy way to install the bypass, I would recommend that you first try the blown fuse(cheap and easy to install) and then, if you have CEL problems, go with the $20 bypass.

I just use that thing under my right foot. It's much easier.

I have a lift so installing the CAGS plug wouldn't be an issue and I purchased the fuses so I could do the fuse fix but just haven't bothered. Just not that big of a driving force. CAGS almost never interferes except if I forget about it when driving in slow traffic. After the first time it happens I remember and shift around it. As long as you go into second gear before you hit 14 mph you will never hit the CAGS so why waste 5 minutes or even a dime on a fix.
