2019 does not, can’t say about the 20. Not sure when they switched to the new design.Do the MY19-20. Or have the same issue?

How do you disconnect the grid heater? Will it cause computer problems if you just disconnect the power to it?Looks like my truck is involved. Thing doesn't fit i my garage anyway. However I will remove the cable from the relay. Don't need the grid heater anyway since I only drive in warmer climates. I still have to take it in for the tailgate recall, although mine seems to latch just fine.
If you're familiar with the location on the grid heater relay you can follow the wire up to the battery pretty easily. If I remember correctly the relay bracket is mounted to the battery tray/area.I just yanked a wire off the right side battery in an attempt to isolate and de-power the grid heater. Truck fired right up, no warning lights of any kind...not 100% sure I pulled the correct wire yet but nothing negative noted yet.
Thanks! I think I pulled the correct cable from the battery - it's the post that would be closest to the front of the truck, as one way to describe it.If you're familiar with the location on the grid heater relay you can follow the wire up to the battery pretty easily.

If you push the start button and the truck wants to run a grid heater cycle (waiting to start) it will eventually throw a code with the relay disconnected. The way to get around this is just push the start button again so the truck starts before running the grid heater cycle. I'm not sure if it would eventually throw a code still because the truck still activates the grid heater while running.
I left my relay disconnected at the battery last time they had a recall on the relay until I got it into the dealer and never had a check engine light/code thrown.

Those that are going to remove wires be prepared for codes to set.
I guess it’s better to see that little orange glow on your dash instead of under your hood!My 20 has the old style relay that's not affected but was built in Feb 2020.
