IF your reading this your online... so, right NOW order your LMC5 module and as soon as you get it INSTALL it...

Ok I thought of that but why would the steering wheel be free and not locked up

Your one of the lucky ones... but, don't push your luck or you may come out of Lowes to a LOCKED steering wheel

REGARDLESS of ANY previous fix CLB etc... the LMC5 is what you need and want to install...

Ok well I'm gonna order it now thank you for taking the time to help a newbie out today hope I can return the favor sometime

It has taken some time for this old timer to finally know my way around the forum and the C5/LS1... there is a learning curve for sure... glad I'm able to have some input. Glad your here and learning as well... good luck with your C5 and enjoy...

I just bought a 99 C5 with automatic. When the car is in part and shut off I can still turn the wheel. I looked at the module and I don't see anything that looks like the LMC5 MODULE is installed.

Am I safe from the column lock fault?

73Corvette

NO... get the LMC5 and install it then you can mark the CL off the LIST.

OK! that enough for me to act on this. I have the LMC5 device in my e-shopping cart. Thanks guys.

LOW voltage or bad battery caused your issue--why use a diff key? anyway new battery or a good battery fully charged--no more problems! PAUL K c4c5 specialist says DO NOT use a after market clb--He knows his corvettes--most dealer installed fix are still going strong-
