Column Lock Simulator
Gang, I just received my CLS from Thunder Racing and all that was in the box was the small CLS module...no cigarette lighter adapter as shown in the LS1howto article. Is that needed for all installations? Mine is a 99 6-speed. Thanks. Tom.

If no instructions, then the way I would do it is to insert the key and turn to on, but don't start the engine. Observe that the steering is unlocked. While in this state, disconnect your ECL harness. Turn off ignition and remove key. Install your CLB and plug into the harness. Then try it. If you get any error messages, reset your BCM following instructions in my sticky. This should accomplish the same thing without the cigarette lighter adaptor. Good luck.

It depends on the kit you buy - one kit has it the other does not - BOTH work fine. The one without the lighter adpater, you just pull a certian fuse to actuate the lock. If there are no directions, get them emailed or faxed to you - it is EASY.
