RW> Yes, I think that would disable the car. However, you could always try to   
   RW> remove the RF device wire harness intact from the steering column and   
   RW> duct   
   RW> tape it to the outside of the column, out of harms way. That should   
   RW> remove   
   RW> the possibility of the ignition lock rattling it to turn on/off the   
   RW> alarm.   
      
   If the ignition is hitting and RD device in the steering column, moving it   
   sounds like a good solution.  Just don't know how easy it would be to mess   
   with the steering column.  It doesn't happen that often - just an annoyance   
   when it does.   
      
   RW> No problem...I need to get more familiar with that fixit CD system. It's   
   RW> made by a company in San Diego, which was one of my customers when they   
   RW> had printing presses. Mitchell Manuals. During my last year in the   
   RW> machine   
   RW> shop business, I did their press foreman's jobs for printed manuals that   
   RW> they had in the press room that fit my 88-IROC-Z and my 98 Z28...wish I   
   RW> had contact with them after so I could cover my 02 Silverado.   
      
   What CD system do they use?  I use the program Alldata to get more details on   
   many repairs.  Comes in very handy to know what you are getting into before   
   you start ripping things apart..  :)   
      
   RW> See if you can find a Ford mechanic who will help you out of the kindness   
   RW> of his heart (or a few bucks on the side) to give you a hand. Since Ford   
   RW> has a weird way of doing automotive engineering, I gave up on them years   
   RW> ago. See if, in his opinion, my suggestion above would work for you.   
      
   I know a few GM mechanics, but no Ford ones.  I could run it by the GM guys,   
   as they might still know how to deal with the security system.
