L and LW will do the same thing. All we use are L's at work. I don't even know if LW's are around anymore?
the 555L is the newer version, some wires in the harness were moved around for better operation.
you need a small hand held gauge dependant stripper and a razor blade. you use the circular clamp style stripper to put a small break in the wire coat and then use a sharp razor to slice length wise, then just pull it off and solder to it. (I usually poke a hole to split the wires and push through before wrapping and soldering).
I usually work life cause I am too impatient to have to reconnect the battery for testing, just make sure everything is out of the way when doing it. But you can cause damage if the circuit is activated while working on it.
Another word of caution from the wise, MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT WIRES - the airbag wires are similarily encased going up the steering column.
Let me know if you need any help, I am not far away.

I think i'll be alright. Already have the tool (for cutting wire. And Airbags are in yellow. lol.
i've worked with electronic's and soldering before. Blowing a 400v cap. Now that will scare the crap out of you. lol

been there, I know you said you were into electronics (as am I) but working with airbags is a whole different animal.
The passkey wires are usually in orange, but have been in yellow in some cars.

That car the passlock ground is orange/black and the passlock wire shoudl be yellow I believe. If you trace them back they are pinned right next to each other. Be sure to solder them.

Make sure you replace them every month or so //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif or you will be cutting thru wires like crazy. At my shop we use strippers like these:

an a razor blade.
Just make two "rotations" on the wire about an inch or two apart... then take a razor blade and slice from rotation to rotation. Works great.

The airbag wires will be in a yellow sleeve. Passlock wires will not be.
not always, some of the trucks and early passlock systems were in yellow casings

Not that I've saw on passlock 2 systems...

You might know me from OT
IIRC the 555LW came in a white box. hence the W. yes I'm serious.
