Dave, if you disconnect the wire as shown above you cannot lock the doors with the interior lock button while the doors are open, it will automatically unlock. The only way to lock the doors afterward is by pressing down the plastic plunger up by the window manually, or by shutting the door and then using either the keypad, or your keykess entry keyfob. I personally always lock my doors using either the keyfob or keypad so it isn't a big deal to me.

Rather then disassemble the stearing colume, just stick a punch in that fourth hole under the key cylinder with the key in the run position and pull the switch out. Then you can put a piece of tape on the top of the cylinder & reinstall it. Shouldn't take more then 1 Min. if you have the tape ready.

cfd, if you haven't figured this out yet it might be work sending Exposed a PM to see if he can't take a picture or something. Sorry I can't help any more than that.

This might be a dumb question mtpocket but for your back-up beeper, do you have a cancel button on your dash below the stereo? Reason I ask is b/c my truck has one, push the button in reverse and cancel beeper. Maybe its just something on KR's, just thought I'd add my .02. Mine beeps when I first put it in R to back out of the garage. HTH
