You "fix" it by either of these approaches, not both.

Im no mechanic and I "fixxed" it myself.

all you do is turn on the car so the lock disengages, then pull the fuse (There is a ton of how to threads on how to do it exactly)

your settring lock will not reingage and the microswsitch which tells the starter starter logic it is okay to start will be permenantly pressed.

3 fixes. you can:
1. pull the fuse (very easy)(reccomended)
2. install wire kit (more complecated as you have to wait for the part)
3. Cut the brown wire (much like pulling the fuse but a bit more permenant)

there are at least 5 threads describing this very easy (5minute) fix.

I reccomend pulling your fuse (it is reversable and very very easy to do even for a total non mechanic.)
