Steering position sensor
Does anyone know where to get a new steering position sensor for a 99 C5? GM discontinued them a little while ago and all I can find is used ones for crazy high prices. The problem with the used ones also is you don't what position the wheel was in when it was removed so they are usually not worth the trouble.

I recall a few years ago seeing one advertised as brand new and the seller was asking $1k for it
Unfortunately used is really your only option.

Try Marc at Vettenuts.net. He may have a good used one.

He usually has them centered with the pin in place so installation is not an issue.

They are centered with a locking pin ready to go.

On the mid year 98 through 2000 the Active Handling was an option and not a feature as it was on the 2001 - 2004. If the early year car has AH then if the SWPS fails the anti lock brake function is disabled, and the AH and TCS lights are illuminated on the dash. Both AH and TCS require the anti lock brake function to be able to do their job. The car still has normal braking so it will stop just not anti lock braking. If the car does NOT have AH then the SWPS is primarily used to control the Magna Steer function. When the SWPS fails then magna steer does not function correctly and at higher speed the steering may feel loose. The anti lock feature continues to work on a non AH 98 - 2000 when the SWPS fails.
The loss of the SWPS on the 2001 - 2004 cars has the same effect except that the SWPS is currently still available as a new part. All 2001 - 2004 have AH as a built in feature.
In answer to your specific question, it depends on whether a used replacement part is available at a price the owner can/is willing to pay. Car is still driveable and there are many out there with failed SWPS still being driven.

Has anyone ever came up with why they go bad? I have all grounds refreshed and keep my battery on a tender hoping it will keep on this crap on a 99 from going bad.

Thanks again
After seeing the picture again I don't think what we were dealing with is a SWPS but it did have a protrusion on it that fit in a slot in the steeing shaft. But I'm still relieved.

Is there any way to cut one open with an exacto knife to possibly repair it in someway? Man that's a hell of a price for a thing like that

Having same problem - is there a way to disable AH?

I think its crazy that there is not a replacement for the 99-00 sensor. There are a ton of these cars still out there.

I don't understand how something created with technology created 20 years ago cant be reproduced with modern technology today. Its like why cant my tape deck be repaired with mp3 technology. Such Bullshit how they rip us off with used parts or make us by the newest car

I have compared the 99 Cadillac Seville SteeringWheel sensor
with the 99/00 steeringwheel sensor connector pinout and to me the seems to be very similar.
They also seems to generate same signals to the EBCTM , Phase A and B plus analog output . Bought my self a new spare for 75USD on ebay today .
