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 ..

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
