You will most likely have to overnight one. Probably Corvettes of Houston would be your best bet.

I'm sure someone else could help you better than I.

I just ordered mine from Corvettes Of Houston. I got it in 3 days and installed it just an hour ago. It took about 30 minutes..easy. Call their 1-800 number and have them over night it.

I may be wrong, But if your column is locked right now, It must be Un-locked and the computer must think everything is OK, BEFORE the CLB bypass will work..

Its not locked and I found one of my buddies has one he doesn't need. Will be going in tomorrow sometime.

Does anyone have install directions? I think he said he doesn't have them for it.

Thanks!

Or if in a real bind, just bang the column around a bit using the adjustment and it will eventually free up. Turn car off for a minute and it will work fine. Have done it twice already.
