The dealer recalls are junk, get the CLB and be done with it.

I have this problem everyday... If I put the key in and start the car too soon, I get the "Pull the key for ten secs." BS. I have to insert the key, turn it part way to turn on the accessories and wait until the amber security light gpoes out before cranking the engine. Sucks. I installed the CLB. If I didn't hate getting taken to the cleaners by the dealer, I'd go have this looked at.

If the resistor built into the key (little black thingie) is dirty, it can cause strange things like that. I clean mine with alcohol once a month.

I've got two column lock bypass modules sitting unused in my garage.

Im selling them for $30/each shipped in the C5 Parts section.

I battled this CL issue all summer until the dealer had to replace the BCM which was the cause of my issue hence no need for the CL bypass.
