Does the SID work at all?

Ok, here we go:
I just played with one of my cars in the lot, we need to see two things, if the ignition switch is sending the signal to the car, and if the car is receiving the immobilizer message.
Do you hear the steering column lock click when you put the key in the ignition? (If not that doesn't necessarily mean it's broken, I see many sport sedans that the lock stops clocking)
*******************************************
With the key in the ignition, but in the lock position:
1) You should be able to turn on the radio, push the volume knob on the left of the radio control panel.
2) Push the main knob control on the panel for the SID - the one above the 'Customiz'e and 'Clear' buttons - the clock on the SID should illuminate.
***********************************
With the key OUT of the ignition lock:
1) Push down the little button in the ignition switch where the key would go with your finger and hold it for a few seconds - you should get a 'STEERING COLUMN LOCK ACTIVE - REMOVE KEY' message AND you should hear a chime.
2) Push down the button with your finger, and try to turn the ignition switch slightly to the on position with your finger tip - you should get a 'KEY NOT ACCEPTED' warning AND you should hear a warning chime.
****************************************
Let me know what you get from those.
Best,
Drew
