Steering lock problem solved (for real)
Note--in order for this to work on your car your steering lock must be in working order,if it is broken you will have to go to the dealer or buy one yourself
This cutting up the harness and buying a adapter persuade my and Dai to find out what the fix is. If you remove the fuse box next to the battery put the car in accessory then pull the steering lock fuse. Then just put everything back where it goes and that's it

That fuse is only for the lock I wouldn't post it if I didn't try it on Dai's car first.

If you look at page 26 of the PCS section of the service manual you'll see the schematic of the IPDM E/R (module next to the battery). It is indeed a 10A fuse location #48. This feeds the steering lock relay which feeds the steering lock unit. Give me a few minutes, I'll get a screen shot and upload it for you guys.
Great find!

Just b/c the steering lock relay + Throttle Control motor relay get there power from the same wire has nothing to do with it NOT receiving power while S/L relay fuse is removed that circuit is undisturbed.

Excellent work guys. I had thought about pulling the fuse if mine ever went to try and get it going. Great to know this solves the steering lock dilemma
