Pull Key Wait 10 Seconds
Started car today, warmed it up, put in reverse and died. After 3 times saw the above message. I put the CLB in my 98 a few weeks ago but thiis is the first message.
So do folks thing that this is CLB related or key resistor related ? Past posts go both ways. I am confused. Car has few miles so key is not worn out.
Thanks

I had the recall done months ago, mine is a 98 A4, had the plate removed and K-harness in stalled by the dealer. A week or so ago i got the same messege, and the fuel cut off....It had to be towed to the dealer and what they found was a bad relay in the K-harness and it was replaced. Don't think for a minute that you will never get stung just because the recall has been performed. However from what I understand it can be many things that can cause this issue. Good luck 
BTW...The dealer had my car for only one day and it was back to me and I didnt pay a penny for the tow or anything

I have a 2000, and had the recall done. I have had the "pull key wait 10 seconds" message 4 times since the recall was done. Before the recall, I had only gotten the message once. I am taking it back to the dealer on Monday. I dont have the CLB, and of course the dealer didnt recommend it or even know about it. I dont know what I will do if they dont fix the problem. It has always started right away after the message though. But I have heard of people being stranded where it would never start.

I have a 98 MN6. Never had recall done as I dont want the fuel shutting off. I put in the CLB. It appears the fuel did shut off anyways.
Well, I just hope the message dont come back !
Thanks for comments

Happened to me last Sunday. Stopped to get gas, started the car and the steering wheel was locked with the same message. "Pull key wait 10 sec". I did that then it said "service column lock". Monkeyed with it for 15 min to no avail. Called a tow truck and towed to the dealer. I had received a few mo's back a re-call for this, so figured it was covered....NOT. Dealer said it was the column lock module which is not a part of the re-call. Spent 2 hrs on the phone with GM. First person said they'd cover it, then they called the dealer then changed their mind. In all it cost $379 bones to replace module. Then had to take it back to my tuner to reprogram the PCM back to my spec's. OH, GM said they'd send me $400 bucks off for my hassle on a new or used GM car. Whoopee
