And a small flashlight or trouble light to help see what you are doing. Install is very fast. Removing it would be equally a breeze, and no worries about what might be going on in the ECU due to the fuse being pulled.
As for the $50 being in the con column, it was worth that much to me for the intellectual property of those that figured it out, designed the harness, sourced the raw materials, tested, packed, shipped, dealt with PayPal and everything else involved. Plus the time save not ******* around under the hood pulling the fusebox out and reinstalling it. And my peace of mind is worth a few bucks too.


I second this. $50 was well worth it. Bc I look at it as saving me $500 + tax + towing + saving the stress of Not having to watch my car go up a flat bed by someone who could give a fu€|< about my car + being without a car if my lock failed.

Even if I didn't per order before the fuse method came out I still will have got the harness. I was never a fan of doing anything to the fuse box in any of my cars. Even going all the way back to the fast and furious days of interior neon lights and people tapping the power wire under a fuse haha.

Now I get in my car and hit the start button with no worries if the lock will fail
