Duh...(me, not you!)
It wasn't until someone mentioned just plugging it with a dummy plug or cap
that I stopped what I was doing last night and did just that.  I had two old
RCA plugs with plastic backshells and clipped the ground/cable strain
relief, put the backshell on and plugged the 13.8v jacks.  Sometimes it
takes me a bit longer than usual to figure something out....should have done
this years ago.
