I had the GM "final" fix done by the dealer at no cost to me in 2010 - car was a '98 MN6, built in '97. My point to them was that I had had their previous fixes done, so it should not have failed. Chevrolet apparently agreed and paid the tab.
The final fix, by the way was to remove the locking mechanism, so no column lock. And no problems since - I would not expect there to be, given the locking "bits" are gone.

Good morning all....I am not even sure i am posting this correctly. I have read through these forums for years and for some reason never joined?! I am officially a member now!
Soooo...i have a 99 vette and just replaced the AC compressor due to a leak...upon picking up the vehicle got the infamous "service column lock" and "pull key and wait 10 sec". I had no idea what that meant so straight to the forums to start reading! After reading, i decided to buy the column lock bypass kit at the local "corvette world" in Houston and install for an "easy" fix. So i have now installed this part but still no luck. I put a new battery on it 3 days ago as well.
Does anyone have any advice for me??? Please help!
BTW...the steering wheel is stuck "unlocked"....the wheel turns freely but still have this issues.

Thank you for your response. I may end up having to do that. Seeing some other things on here about the relay in foot well that could possibly help me out which I believe is what you mean when you say undo what was done already. Wish me luck!
