LMC5 Module, Simulator Kit or both?
Just purchased a 2001 Coupe 6MT and the steering wheel still locks. I have read and understand that I should modify it so it doesn't lock, because eventually the lock-out mechanism fails and causes big problems. I have youtubed and researched two kits that address steering column lock bypass: 1. Compliance Parts LMC5 Module - C5 Corvette steering column lock bypass module and 2. Corvette Steering Lock Simulator Kit C5 Bypass Locking Mechanism Column. My question is: Do I need both kits or just one or the other so that I bypass the column lock issue?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I’ve been advising people about this for years, more lately. I did the LMC5 on my ‘02Z and my current coupe. The Z went easy but the coupe had some problems from the previous owner’s failed attempt at installing an older LMC5 kit.
I have no idea what the second kit you found is.
The fix is simple. Call Richard at Compliance Parts. Tell him your concerns, buy the kit from him, when you have trouble, call him. He is the best customer service person I’ve ever dealt with and other will agree. It’s that simple.

As 8vette stated. I has the brown wire ‘problem’ because of mistakes made by the previous owner, including the move of one of the pins in the multi connector to the wrong hole. Richard stayed on the phone from California as he talked me thru the solution.

You only need one of those items, and I would recommend you get the LMC5. You won't have to worry about the column lock problem again with it.
