I believe, the door should not lock automatically, when you take the key out. If is a door locking it should be an immediate "thunk". The column lock solonoid should make a whirring/buzzing noise for about a second.

I suffer from the same aviation related hearing loss but, the door lock and column lock noises are desinctly different.

Good luck.

what i ment was the door unlocks when i take the key out. anyways, i never heard any buzzing or anything, especialy coming from the column. thanks for the heads up.

the column never locks thogh, even with the key out, i can turn the wheel all i want. it is a 2nd hand 03 z06, so i was wondering what to look for , and were to look esactly for the bypass without taking anything apart.
I think this car has been played with electricaly. the skipshift is definatly bypassed, and the reverse lockout dosnt always work. i have momentarily grinded reverse trying to shift into 5th, .

You are right, the weather is GREAT but everything else SUCKS - this state may never be what it once was ?????
