whats funny about this is I originally had this at the dealer as I was frustrated, and they told me that's start with the SZL. I didn't believe them for one second... plus the comment "let's start" they wanted about $1300 to do it...

To be honest, they said Steering Angle sensor. i have the battery disconnected, when I reconnect with the steering wheel all disconnected, i am not going to have the car go crazy?

I'm sure you will get a steering error . You might be able to get to the plugs from underneath without taking the whole steering apart .. If you remove the bottom plastic cover , there is a foam piece that comes out . If I remember correctly you can get to the plugs from there . it will save you the trouble of taking the steering all apart ..

Well, after all that, fuel pump still engages. Going to put steering wheel back together, and locate the SGM

Cannot seem to find any documentation that has the location of SGM... I have heard glove box and center console.. I would rather have this confirmed before I start ripping stuff out
