The resistors create a bypass of the cylinder sensor. They mimic the key pellet resistance which is how the BCM verifies the correct key is being used and allows the car to start and run.
He doesn't have to do that if he replaces the cylinder. I posted that as a cheap diagnostic option, something he could do to confirm the cylinder is indeed the culprit...It most likely is, but nothing is an absolute until the problem has been solved. The resistor trick might cost a couple bucks at most...Sure beats replacing a $100+ part only to potentially discover that isn't the problem.
