That's the idea. The steering wheel should move freely as if the lock doesn't exist, and the light *should* remain off.
This is why I wanted to try to get a couple of plugs first so I could do some R&D first, then share my findings... I don't want to cut up my wire harness to do testing.
I'm assuming from the fix Frtiz has suggested that the 2 wires that go to the BCM and IPDM will stil register unlocked. I don't know if there will be problems down the road because the BCM is also monitoring the driver door, ignition, key, etc... It may throw a code or service light... Not sure. If someone is willing to cut a wire, we'll have another tester...
