This is copied from our local boards. I did it to mine. You can get a replacement if you want peace of mind. I left mine out, but you do so at your own risk. If you leave it out, you can turn off the car and remove the key in any gear selection. This means your car may not be where you parked it if you don't make sure you're always in park. I've never even come close to even accidentally removing it in anything but park, but just so you know.

What the part looks like.



How to fix it:

If you take the bottom cover off of the steering column you can get to it rather easy and remove the solenoid.

1) tilt wheel all the way up and remove tilt wheel lever.... just pull, it comes out rather easy

2) take out screws in bottom steering column cover.... torx bit

3) pull off cover. you will have to tilt it a little to clear the rear clips.

4) remove screw(s) holding in solenoid.... very small nut driver or pliers will do the trick. It also clips in at the top. You can pry it loose with a slotted screwdriver once the screw is out.

5) unplug wires to solenoid and discard solenoid into nearest trash can and save money for beer after job is complete

6) reverse order to reassemble column

7) use money saved from step 5 and go have a few beers
