Default Service Column Lock

Well, it finally happened today. Just got back from a 400 mile trip from Carlisle This past Saturday,had dyno tune and Vararam installed by ECS.

Car runs great, parked it out in the driveway this afternoon, to do some much needed through garage cleaning and organizing. When i went to fire her up to put it back into the garage, I got the dreaded "pull key wait 10 seconds message" did that, and got the even more dreaded "service column lock" message.
I, not sure if the previous owner did a recall or clb on the vette, BUT i do have a new GM Delco professional series battery voltage is perfect, I checked the torque on the baterry terminal posts, good. And pulled fuse 23 to reset the bcm. Ran codes and no codes.

My coupe has a six speed, no steering wheel lock, and i took the car out on a spin, and the fuel shutoff (thank god) didnt kick in or stall the engine.

At a loss what to do now. Keep driving it and reset the dic every time i start it up. or God forbid, bring it to the stealership as the owners manual suggests. Welcome all and any suggestions as always. Ken

Do a search on some posts by 8VETTE7 on the column lock issue. He seems to know quite a bit about it. Or just PM him and ask your question.
