1. Disconnected the battery, then the plug on the BCM
2. Installed resistor (2.2k 1/4w) with alligator clips and plugged BCM in
3. Reconnected the battery and the car starts with the light on still even with the yellow wire cut.
Is my problem that I need to get it out of fail enable before attempting the resistor?
Alligator clips not working?
Bad BCM, I don't think so as it has exhibited classic passlock symptons?
Otherwise how can I disconnect the battery in Fail enable mode and reconnect and have it still start. I am very frustrated.

Are you sure you got the right wires at the BCM? Those wires are in different locations on different models so I don't recomend getting them there. At the key is usually the easiest. Also, are you sure you have the resistor on the BCM side of the cut yellow wire? You may have to take the other end of the resistor to chassis ground too.
