Does your steering wheel lock when you remove the key?

The CLB will be located under the drivers knee bolster so you'll need to remove that to physically see it. It will be a little black plastic box about 2 inches long. If it's the LMC5 then that's located in the passenger side footwell behind the fusebox cover. That one is I believe is just a wiring thing. I have the CLB so I don't know for sure how the other one looks.

i'll check the passenger side footwell first to see if the lmc5 was installed. i'm guessing it's been fixed because it's been good since i took ownership in Aug.2020. just seems like every c5 had this problem. kinda bugs me till i find out for sure.

If you can freely turn the steering wheel, a CLB or similar device is installed.
