Hopefully, I did everything I could and got your beta kit out on Friday. You should have received tracking number and expect you will receive Mon or Tue.

I believe I did. thanks!

lets see what happens?

its my understanding that you can get the lock to work one or two more times once it starts to go? i might just carry a small wire cutter in my glove box and wait to see if my lock ever gives me any trouble. if it does hopefully i can use the trick posted on this forum to get it to work one more time, then immediately after unlocking it, just cut the brown wire.

I am so nervous about this subject with the upcoming zdayz trip.

got mine today. will hook it up tomorrow. Haven't even opened the box, since I just got home.

If anyone's fails at Zdayz and they can get the steering unlocked, they are more than welcome to mine to get home.

Newbies and others newly interested, or just fitting the harness, may not know it, so I started a new thread on NOT to touch the external screw on the lock.
Curiosity kills the lock.

Is this confirmed to work for sure? I just don't want to do the snip snip unless I know for sure. And are all years prone to this? I have a 09.

You would have to check which lock version you have. The A's and B's for sure are prone to this. One or two C's have had it also i think, the D version is said to be the good one.

I just installed bdl's new harness, cut the brown wire on it, and it works! No more steering lock!!!! :)

And no dummy light?

:excited:

nope, no dummy light. No difference at all except it doesn't lock now, and while changing brake pads, i don't need it on anymore to move the front wheels.

You just need to remove the harness and plug in the original plug if you need the steering to lock during any services. :tup:

Thanks for the update.

Awesome! When can I get one? :tup:
