MH>RW> There is a RF chip in the steering column that is related to your   
   MH>RW> security   
   MH>RW> system, but I'm told you can't fix it yourself. You can/should take it t   
   MH>RW> a Ford dealer and they can scan the CPU to find your problem and fix it   
   MH>RW> for you. I'd ask them to diable it if they can...   
      
   MH>That makes sense.  My daughter told me that sometimes when she hits a bump,   
   MH>will trip the alarm system.  Then juggling with the keys on the ignition, it   
   MH>will go back off.  I guess it isn't as simple as just removing it.. That wou   
   MH>probably disable the car, completely.   
      
   MH>RW> I found the RF chip and it's location, but the schamtics didn't load, so   
   MH>RW> I   
   MH>RW> can't tell you much more about it.   
      
   MH>I appreciate your efforts!   
      
   MH>RW> I'm told by two mechanics (Chevrolet manager and a service-man) that you   
   MH>RW> can't fix it... Knowing them like I do, I'd trust their word on it.   
      
   MH>That is fine.. I know we would be happy if we could just disable it, but tha   
   MH>doesn't sound like an easy task.
