I would advise anyone with this SWL to either cut the brown wire (I did) or remove the fuse. It's not a question of if, but when, and usually at the worst possible time. My 2009 started showing the key/bat symbol in my orange LCD panel so when I got to work I turned ACCY on with start button, heard the SWL gear grind, - verified with turning steering wheel that it was indeed unlocked - and then got under the dash/SW and cut that brown wire. Haven't seen the error since and no other alerts on dash.

My SINCERE thanks to everyone on this forum that contributed to this solution. Very grateful to have saved 1000 - 1200 dollars for a wire snip.
