1) I'll be damned but you REALLY have to crank the wheel over to get it to lock.
2) As I said, my last two cars were both Corvettes, and both had electronic column locks (don't get me started) that would lock instantly the second you shut off the ignition.
Now, again my apologies.. back to your regularly scheduled thread already in progress.
Regards.
PS - I still want one of these, anyway.

Pride stopped being a factor for me a long time ago. If I shoot off my big mouth and say something stupid, I'm always happy to step up to the plate and admit it. For better or worse. lol

Useless? If you stall on a racetrack and can get to it quicker than turning your keys....

Interesting... Woudl like to see the picture
I spent most of yesterday working on wiring up the START/STOP button assy. I had to re-engineer the LOCK, ACC, and ON LED's as they were all originally common anode (+), as well as sharing a surface mount 1.8k current-limiting resistor, and I had to make ACC and ON common ground; the LOCK LED is wired seperately because it will get its low or ground signal from the factory alarm system. I had to place a bunch of resistors in series for the LOCK LED and those are hidden in the pigtail. I cut off the original modular plug flush with the bottom of the button (for clearance concerns in the console) and I extended everything out on a 9-pin Molex male pigtail and then finished it off with some heat shrink tubing. This will allow for more mobility when placing the control box, plus I think it just looks better.

Any chance you can repost this picture?
Also, how did you modify the board in the switch? did you phase it out minus the button contacts part?
Thanks,
Jack
