c5 serv column lock code--recall
ok
ive got a 99 c5 automtatic
in the morning i get a serv column lock\pull key code
took to dealer, had the recall performed for the second time
they said they found no problems...said i need an alternator
for low voltage and to clean the fuel injectors w\ a new
fuel filter..
do they think i stupid or what???
not only is my car still doing this, but why the alternator??
my guage says its charging ok
does anyone have a possible solution to this serv column lock??
the dealer obviously doesn't, they just want to sell me a bunch of crap i don't need.
also, i just had the fuel filter changed and injectors cleaned less than
a thousand miles ago..i wonder how that was going to fix my problem

Sounds like that dealer saw you coming and had $ signs in his eye's
your voltage guage should tell you if the alternator is o.k around 13.6 volts; 12 volts with engine off. I once had a service writer just say I needed a new car even though my car was still in good condition. You could also go on a long drive with lights and heater on and stereo etc and then have your battery tested for charge at an auto parts store.

Find a new dealer. If they did the recall right, I would hope that the message would not be showing up after the recall. Having the message show up would get to be old.
