The CLB is not likely what is fried. It would be the K Harness that fries if one is installed....
The K Harness, if one was installed as a part of the recall service, was installed in series between the lock motor and the connector that goes back to the BCM. Many that installed a CLB were unaware that you needed to remove the K harness when installing a CLB.

If everyone would start with and keep a healthy battery in car--storing or not--PUT on a battery tender--NO problems with column lock would happen!

Greetings,
I have installed the LMC5 last summer. I believe I also did the brown wire mod. I have a 2016 new battery installed and kept on a battery tender even to this day. I talked with Richard last year, who is excellent in customer service. We determined I needed a new battery, which as I said I purchased last year. I have a 98 automatic, and rarely drive it. As I mentioned I keep on a battery tender. I started the car up and drove a few days ago. I received the pull key and service column lock messages. I hit the reset. Two days ago I received just the service column lock and yesterday pulling the car from the garage the same thing However the pull key has seemed to not appear since the first message. I have yet to pull the negative battery cable to reset.
This is very frustrating and wondering if I will get stranded at some point.
I may have read everything possible on the net about this issue.
Looking for success with this seems impossible.
Thanks for hearing my rant.
