ATTENTION!! 2009-2010 owners with steering lock/wont start issues

turn the car on to acc so that you can hear the lock disengage. once it does (test the wheel by wiggling it), pull the fuse. turn the car back off and uninstall the steering lock if they're just letting you borrow it.

be sure to test it before uninstalling the lock.

I don't remember anyone trying it but I don't think the car will start without a SLU wired in. There are two microswitches that need to be in the correct position and some electronics that "handshake" with the BCM/ECM. It doesn't have to be bolted in place, but it does need to be plugged in.
