So i have a quick question about this fix. Mine went bad completely, but i got the new part from the dealership and they said i could plug it in a disable it and than bring it back to them. Will the fuse fix work if i disable it with the working part in and than once disabled throw my old one back in? Trying to avoid the cost of the part.

As long as your old one is in the unlock position,if it is then you shouldn't need the new part.you can remove the fuse as it is in the unlock position if it is not then you will have to get the new one installed then pull the fuse and leave the new steering lock in the car.

This is awesome, I was going to order the $50 part to get this fixed but this is a much better option. Going to run out and do this right now.
