I was trough the exact same thing got stranded and didnt know what to do, i looked around in the forum nothing worked except this, now my car runs fine. doing this means your not gonna have a locked wheel when the car is off, if you dont mind heres how to start your car,


Take the steering lock out if know how if not remove the screws the it just comes off.

Follow instructions and pictures, this is from the forum.



1. first picture is old rev b lock
2. drilled out the tabs on the both sides with dremel
3. cover removed
4. removed #10 torx screws
5. circuit board removed
6. back piece with the gears
7. two tabs held down with piece of metal and electrical tape
8. all taped up and ready for testing
9. make sure you tape the end down or remove it so you can turn your steering wheel


Let me know if you need any other help!
