Oh, then, sure - go for it. It's clearly either a temp sensor or some kind
of offset compensation in the current sense line. Even if it doesn't work
like we all want it to ( ;-) ), you're very probably not going to do any
damage, and you'll have your meters on it, so you'll know if it's way
off-base, in which case, just pull the plug.

Good Luck!
