service column lock.. please help
hello guys..
please help me,,
I have service column lock in my corvette 99..
I know this problem is common in C5 so thats why the previous owner installed the LOCK BYPASS..
my problem is when I turn the key on, the engine runs then there is fuel cut and the engine not running..
by the way, the steering wheel is NOT LOCKED
I changed the battery with new one, but I still have the problem..
I cant move the car, whenever I run the engine, it shuts down when the column lock message on.
please help me,,

the previous owner said that he did something with the column..
he just mentioned that he did recall mod..
I am not sure if my car got the GM fix or aftermarket or something like that..

Well, you need to find this out-if it's the K-harness (do a search on it), it most likley puked. If you have BOTH, you need to remove the K harness. If you ONLY have the K harness, you need to REMOVE it and order a CLB ASAP.

8VETTE7 walked me through the process! 
If I can do it, ANYONE can do it.. Corvettes of Houston CLB about $60 delivered, 20 minutes to install, no problems ever since!
See how far you can THROW the K-Harness once it's out! More fun than Rat Flinging!

hello again..
I have removed the knee bolster..
and its obvious now the CLB has been already installed..
I disconnected the CLB, then re-connected the factory wiring..
but still not working, I still have "service column lock" and the car shut off
I re-installed the CLB again but I still have the same problem "service column lock" and the car shut off..
what should I do..?
should I order new CLB?
or what..
Please guys.. need help..

You'll probably have to find someone to program the fuel shutoff out. You should check to make SURE the GM K harness is also not installed-GM would have put one in when they added the fuel shutoff "feature".
