Quick Column Lock Question
I've searched and I'm sure its somewhere but I can seem to find the answer.
I have a '99 FRC and randomly this morning I got the service column lock display. The steering wheel doesn't lock, but I get the fuel cut. Do I need to install the bypass (which I have), or can it be sorted by pulling fuses, disconnecting the battery, or some other way?
Owned the car about 5 months, and first time I have seen it. New bcm as well.
Car is my DD so really need this sorted asap.
Thanks,
Cory

I've read that but it says the solution is to install the bypass before the issue occurs, mine has already occurred. My column didnt lock, so will the bypass still resolve the situation?

This is a different product than the typical column lock bypass. The manufacturer is a site vendor. From what I've read here, the company is very helpful when the symptoms appear. You might send them a message to see if the LMC5 will work for you...

On mine I unhooked the GM K harness and connected the lock motor back up. It worked like that until I got the bypass. My lock motor still worked. The ring was gone so it did not lock. The problem was with the K harness in my case. Now I have the CLB.

Put in the CLB and fixed the issue!
Only thing is now its showing C 1286 code. Is this because i didnt jumper the relay per 8vette7?
If so I'll do that, if they arent related what could be causing the issue?
Sorry for all the questions, but really appreciate helping me get her back on the road!
