Here's a screen shot of page 47 of the Teknic ClearPath manual that shows where to add the resistors.

No chance of connecting those, I have been on the phone with Tecknic and I must say that they are top notch folk. I may be sending mine in for repairs as they did not pass the battery test which leads me to believe that they are my issue :(
