Default Time for a CLB

My truck is out of commision and I was stuck driving the vette in the snow today well everyone wanted to laugh at me being stuck after work so they watched me clean the snow and ice off of my car while it was warming up i got in it to pull out and on the DIC..... Service Lock......so i was stuck there.....had to call my mom to get on the forum and get me some info. eventually the battery charged up enough i got it unlocked and pulled right out of the spot and made it home with no more issues i will soon be ordering a CLB

Check your battery too, if it's close on date get a new one. It was most likely the cause of this.

Sounds like the battery is the problem!

Yes it may well be the battery,,,but DO get the CLB!!!!I got one soon after I bought the car,,just in case,,but didn't feel it was urgent since it had had 2 of the recall fixes. Well about 6 months after I got it,,and ironically just after our Thursday club meeting where a club member spoke out about do it if you haven't done so,,a little over 24hrs later(that Saturday morning) I got nailed!!!! Had to get it towed home where I installed it in my front yard! Been fine ever since!

Yep I went through this recently. I was lucky enough to have it happen in my garage though. I agree with the others in the need to install one asap.
