What's a good method for a non-technical person to short the terminals of two 0402 resistors ~1mm apart? (lemmy.world)

I'm working on a mod kit for a popular item, but my target audience isn't likely to have a soldering iron. The majority of the project connects to an exposed ribbon connector, but I need to short two terminals to force a power supply on.

Any ideas on a method I could provide for people who can't solder? Maybe a strip of copper tape?

Imo if your audience does know how to properly short two things, or solder then you're targeting the wrong audience or they need to learn some basic skills. Disclaimer everything but someone will blame you regardless

Everyone needs to start somewhere. The goal of this project is for an everyman to repurpose some e-waste. Hoping to maybe inspire a few people to learn more.

A noble effort.
