As soon as I pull mine out of the trailer this week the wire is getting cut! I'll probably put male/female crimp fittings on the wire for now so that it can be reconnected in an emergency. When I get time I'll work on a complete lock removal/bypass for the racing folk to go along with this.

Hey guys. Looks like my tech diagnosed me with a dead battery.
Battery has been replaced and the Z is starting like a champ. Here's a run down on what happened: Pushed start button Instrument panel flickered all lights for two to three seconds Heard a whine sound All instrument panel lights went out except the icon with the car & key symbol Lock light in start button slowly flashed (every four secs or so) until battery was dead Does this sound at all like the symptoms of the Steering Lock assembly going bad?

Dead battery has similar symptoms. If the BCM/IPDM isn't getting at least 12V it will do strange things.

When my lock failed, the start button did nothing. No Acc, no nothing.

My bumper to bumper is up May 9th. Looks like I'll be crossing my fingers getting in my car every morning. I hope some one smarter then me is willing to try some type of bypass around the lock. Preferably followed by a detailed how to
