Correct, I am just using the resistor for troubleshooting. IMHO it wold be not smart to leave the Vette vulnerable like that.
(Plus I would never live it down) LOL

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.
