CLB install throwing codes. HELP!
I have an '04 MN6 C5 and thought that I'd get ahead of the potential problem. The adapter didn't work so I just used the key to disengage the lock. When I reassembled things I got the code. Any help?

The reason the adapter is used is to "fool" the computer into thinking the lock is still engaged when, in fact, it isn't. It "sneaks" the lock open when the PCM is in passive monitoring with the key out of the ignition. That's when the bypass is slipped into the circuit, restoring the locked signal even though the column is no longer locked. By using the key, you've allowed the computer to see through the bypass's false locked signal when the ignition is off, thereby setting the code when you start the car.
Try resetting the DIC to see if the code goes away. If not, I'd uninstall the bypass and try it again. If your adapter isn't working, contact the vendor and have them send a replacement.

Jon wrote back already too. Great service! I pulled fuse # 25 and will check the unlocker as I wait 20 minutes for the BCM to forget what I did. I'll post again in a little while. Thanks everyone!

And once again I prove to the forum that I am an idiot. Turns out that the tiny fuse in the unlocker was toasted. I pulled fuse #25 and retried it the way the instructions said to. Viola! It works! Or should I say the CL doesn't? Thanks to everyone who helped and especially to Bob Williams who gave this to me for nothing when he had his lock removed on his A4.

Jon is one of the most stand up guys you'll ever deal with as a vendor.
