removing as tcbm

New member here,I havent been able to get a definate answer from the best buy installers,So Im hoping you guys can help.

I bought a 98 expedition that had an alarm/remote start installed .It was removed and now Im left with the audiovox as-tcbm module which wont work if I put the steering column cover on and sometimes it just randomly wont work.

Id like to remove it and get a new key cut and programmed so I can have atleast the factory security.Ive dug  out everything under the dash and this is what Im left with(aside from the energizing ring around the ignition.)

Alarm and remote start were removed from vehicle.I want to remove the as tcbm.I already figured it out though.Just heat shrunk all the connections and put the key half on my key ring until I can get a new key cut and programmed at ford.

Thank you,

Philip
