Those of you who have had Steering Lock Failure

anyway i could always hear the steering lock working when i got in and out of the car so to make sure i disabled it, i cut the brown wire as suggested in one of the forums. no more noise of the lock when im getting in and out of the car and it shuts of and starts fine.

so i still need to get a back up steering lock JUST IN CASE. but thank god i got that thing to unlock one more time so i could disable it. im still not wanting to take the car far away from home for a while just to make sure its good to go. any questions just send a PM.
