Re: Srevice Column Lock (fairway)
Well, the computer sends an "unlock" pulse every time you turn the key to the on position (but not start the car)...
...so....constantly turn the key on, then off and remove the key (remember, dont start the car), and shake the steering wheel back and forth as hard as you can as you are turning the key on.
There's probably about 20 techniques for this, but the general idea is shake violently back and forth while turning the key.
..Then buy a bypass.

If I'm not mistaken there is a recall for the 98 and up for this. My dad's 97 wasn't covered so it cost him about 250 for a dealer fix.
