It was installed by the dealer on my car. I had to pay for it. TRULY needed or not? Without it, am I going to get the service column lock message?

I guess I am confused about why you would have to pay for it - why didn't the dealer charge it against the recall?

Get your $$ back then install the CLB.

The K-Harness is the relay between the disconnected steering column pin actuator and the BCM. Wrought with problems. Why would you pay for something that is free with the 4006C recall? Get rid of it. Get a CLB as soon as possible.

My local Dealership installed the Harness K in my 6 spd car under the recall notice. Thought I would not have a problem until it left me stranded in the garage! I found it under the dash, removed it, then plugged the wires back together as it was from the factory. Guess what, the car started up and drove perfectly. I now have a CLB from Thunder Racing.

That "fix" was a joke.
