Not meaning to hijack, but I took my car in finally to have the new steering lock module put in. I told the service adviser that I had removed the steering lock fuse, to which he stated he would notify the certified technician.
I got the car back and I noticed that the steering lock unit was as quiet as when I had the old one with it disabled. I double-checked the fuse box and the 10A fuse wasn't in there. So in all, the "certified tech" overlooked a seemingly obvious issue which I had to find out myself. Who knows if the freakin' new module was ever put in...
