Steering lock problem solved (for real)

USINC97 · 02-04-2013, 04:15 PM

Ordered the Steering Lock Bypass cable on Saturday 2/2/13. It was delivered today.

Now that is service. Thank you.

Will it be safe to take out the fuse while the car is started?

Thanks

You don't need to start the car, just have it in ACC when you pull the fuse. Here is a complete set of steps to follow: Steering lock problem solved (for real)

Can I take out the steering lock completely? Is it essential for the car to work, if people are disabilig the steering lock it doesn't seem like It evens needs to be in the car.

The car needs to be on before you pull the fuse

Installed the SL bypass. No problems noted. Car starts in the same manner. I did not notice any additional lag time.

Rear fog light will be my next project.
