So it is as simple as making sure the wheel is unlocked first, and then cutting one wire and taping off the cut end with electrical tape so it doesn't short ? If this works I would be happy to forego the lock function rather than pay $500 for the new lock revision part or risk being stranded somewhere and have to be towed to a dealer. I probably wouldn't even wire in a new switch, especially if I don't get an error light on the dash and the car starts with the cut wire.
Who is going to be the next one to do it and report ?
