I was able to unlock by disconnecting my battery (which is new) and reconnecting it. I have ordered a CLB from Corvettes of Houston and am eagerly awaiting its arrival.
I called the local dealership and Chevrolet Corporate to figure out which recall has been performed on my car. They said that in Aug 2004, recall #04006 was performed but they could not give me any specifics. They want me to bring the car in so they can run a diagnostic to see if my car is covered under Special Policy #05081. I want to avoid this altogether. My question to the wisemen of CF is...will the CLB work with #04006 (2004) performed on my car? I heard that if #04006C was done then you would have to remove the faulty K harness for the CLB to work. Thanks in advance.... and let me throw in one of these

OK...while this horse is still gasping for air let me pose this. And I understand opinions are like butt holes:
I just picked up a 1998 coupe with an automatic. 27K on the clock. I can hear the pin moving with the key being turned. My steering wheel locks with the key out. I called my local dealer who said both recalls were done (one in 2001 and one in 2005) and there was nothing left to do. They said the K harness was installed. I called GM who confirmed the wheel should not move and suggested I bring it to my dealer for confirmation of the lock. Then they suggested I "proceed from there". I have read the 22 page CLB thread in its entirety. So my options are:
1. Bring it to the dealer to get the locking ring removed
2. Install the CLB (are there issues with 1998 cars or not??)
3. Both 1& 2/

Having said that I would still prefer installing the CLB then letting the dealer mess with your car.

Much like the Optispark in a C4 (except a helluva lot cheaper).
