Steering Lock: cut one wire. /switch optional

LMBmikeZ

Bdl99 will have his harness ready for the few testers he has pre-arranged a beta for with his harness. As soon as these are tested everyone will know if cutting the wire works or not because it will be simulating that exact same electrical signal as if you did the cut wire method. So this will tell everyone if it does or does not work! I would wait until after this before any one does any unnecessary cutting just to safe them from possible problems. Then if it does work you can make your decision on whether to cut the wire or spend a lil $ and get the harness!?!?!?........

It would be nice if one of the Beta testers could do more investigative work other than making sure the brown wire trick works...

Determining the possibility of removing the S/L completely.

From my admittedly limited knowledge of the circuits involved with the lock, I think all of the other wires except the brown one have to still be connected to the lock mechanism as there is some kind of loop through or feedback from the lock module to the BCM. So you could probably completely remove the lock assembly but you would still have a bunch of wires that need to be connected.
I'll just leave the lock assembly in place and not worry about it if disabled.

That is my believe as well, although it isn't documented very thoroughly (intentionally). I'll do the brown wire cut first with the harness first and then do some probing with a scope to see what is what. I was going to cut the wire in the stock harness but once I got under there and saw how tight and filddley it was I chickened out as I had a track day that weekend.
