Hey folks,
I've assembled all the pieces for my push-button start system, but just realized the one major flaw in my plan:
I want it to be completely key-less, but if the key isn't in the cylinder the steering wheel lock won't come off. Is there something I can do to disable it permanently (aside from just breaking a key off in the cylinder and leaving it on run).
I don't have any need for the cylinder at all, there will be an on/off push button to replace the functionality of turning the key to run, and a momentary push button to replace start. I plan on disconnecting the relevant wires from below the steering column and re-routing them to the buttons. For security, I have an RFID sensor linked to the ignition circuit, such that the circuit is only active for five seconds after swiping an authorized RFID card past the sensor (IE the push button to start won't work unless the RFID thing has authorized it).
So yea, any ideas how to disable the wheel lock? TIA
