Those of you who have had Steering Lock Failure

I should have done this before I put the car away for winter...oh well, I guess this is spring time modification #1

You guys who are being charged $800-$850 for the lock module plus $300-$400 labor are getting screwed about like the 53% of us that pay taxes are about to get screwed by Obama and the Democrats.
It's a $500 part and about a half hour in labor. The warranty on my car expired in September even though I only had about 26K miles on it. I installed the $50 harness in just a few minutes time before the lock had a chance to fail.
If I had been stranded somewhere and had to pay towing fees plus outrageous repair charges I would have invented some new 12 letter words.

You know I made that "pulling the fuse" thread to help people to avoid spending allot of money on this and I guess it is falling on deaf ears cause a ton of people are not doing it,I guess they think it won't happen to them.
