Ok so I got a new steering column and had to do a resistor bypass for the ignition to work. Basically i bought a resistor that was the same amount of resistance as the old key, put the resistor in the vats wire and it works fine. Now I need to know what number out of the 15 available I need to buy so i can hook it back up the right way. When i checked the resistance on my old key I used the ohm meter on the 20k setting and got 2.35. So i got a 2.2k resistor and was close enough to 2.35 because it workes fine. But looking at the chart below I don't see any numbers that match my 2.35k reading.

Here is what I did to make it work temporarily.

Not hard to figure...

Pellet 8

nominal 2370

range 2275 2485 (your 2350 reading is in this range)

I figured it out and already ordered the right key.
