There are two connectors on the left side of steering column that are pictured in my hand. What are they for? I know the 3rd connector to the left of my hand is for the trunk release/ driving lights switches.

Chevy dealer did a recall on it after she locked up on me. They had to do it twice and in doing so messed other stuff up too.
Thanks for the reply

They are for the column lock for sure. I have a CLB (column lock bypass) and it connects to the one on the left in your hand I believe. Haven't looked at it for a few years though. Have a look in your passenger side footwell and see if the LMC5 is there but I'm not sure what to look for as I've never installed one yet.

I'm the original owner of my 02 so I'm 90% sure I don't have the LMC5 module installed unless the Chevy dealership installed it which I really doubt. It's on my to do list but it's kind of a PITA cause of my custom speaker kick panel has to be removed

My K harness is removed. I did not clarify that. My bad. It is plugged into the connector that goes to the BCM and the actuator plug is just hanging free with nothing plugged into it. I just couldn't remember which one it was off hand. No issues with it for 9 years now.
