another cl problem
Ok guys I just got finish washing and waxing the vette, got in the car to pull it out of the drive way and as soon as I pulled off the car shut down and there was service colum lock on my dic. Also I was on my way to pick up some gas because I also had a low fuel and check gauges light on. So does the colum lock shut down the car or do I need to get a gas can?

If it's a 6 speed and it's had the recall done. It shuts down the gas. Till you can get the column unlocked or you have it looked at at the dealers. Hope your still under warranty or it's $700 for a new lock. Or get the CLB. But you still have to get the lock to release. Keep us posted. This sucks for the 6 speed doesn't it!!! I have the Harness K that is to go into the A4. It's GM's CLB for the A4 just haven't put it in yet. The car is being put away for the winter soon I'll do it then. Now there's confidence in that I hope mine doesn't screw up till then.

If it's under warranty have them pick it up. Rather do that than get stranded somewhere. It's their mess up have them take care of you.

If this is the caser, then a flatbed tow is your only choice. Good luck!

Do you guys think I can reset the codes in the dic would that do anything. Plus the wheel is not locked but the engine just keeps shutting off and its getting anyoying. I put some gas in her too just to try and rule that out. Are there any more thoughts?

get some gas. that way you can rule it out .. and if you can start it and turn the wheel .. i dont believe it's the column lock. $0.02
Hense the term, COLUMN lock.
I could be wrong but eitherway, get some gas.
