this is a question for AXW and KORRUPT...or anyone that actually took apart a broken steering lock. if we were to just remove the spur gear in the pict below, would this mean we would be removing the root cause of the failing steering lock problem?
we wont have steering lock feature as the motor and pinion will just spin inside, but i think it was the spur gear that was jamming that causes this problem in the first place. any thoughts? ![]() where is the detection pads/pins that sends signal back to the BCM? is it part of the large gear or no? ![]() The big white gear seen on the left... ![]() |

![]() ![]() This part does not look like 500+ dollars part. The motor got powered, then turn and drive the spur gear, spur gear turned the lock column shaft up or down. The 2 micro switches detected spur gear position and then send signal to BCM.

![]() yah, it's probably no more than $35 to make this thing even if it was assembled in the US. service parts have huge margins for the distributor and retailer (dealers). |

Should be able to solder bridge the appropriate switch on the backside of the circuit board creating a permanent setting of "unlocked".

![]() As a quick fix I think setting it to the always unlocked state would work, but give you the key icon.
