installed column lock simu from mad vette

and it finally unlocked my steering wheel, but i still get the error message and cant go over 2 mph. the instructions said to remove fuses 25 & 29 or disconnect the battery for 15 minutes then replace. well i disconnected the battery over night and it didnt help. 25 & 29 fuses under the hood are labled "spare" and one is missing. any other suggestions? the 2 fuses they talk about, are they under the hood in the main box or somewhere else?

thanks in advance!

The fuses you are talking about are located in the interior passenger foot well.

Were you getting the error message before you installed the CLB?

YES, but the part i bought came with an "unlock" piece so you could install it on an already locked piece.

BCM Fuses

When I put in my CLB from Thunder racing instructions had me pull (WITH THE IGNITION KEY IN THE ON POSITION) Fuse #25 in the passenger footwell fuse box for ten minutes to reset the BCM. CLB went in and I am now driving and error free. Keep searching the forum for answers if that doesn't work. Best of luck.

I reset mine with fuse 25 and the key on. I had to play with it a few times but it finally worked.

Isn't it amazing that GM is still farting around with this dilema on vettes?Good thing they didn't incorporate this wonderful system on their volume cars like the Cobalts.................

Even if they completely remove the locking system, they still don't seem to cooperate un re-flash the BCM back to normal to prevent us from the possibility of being stranded if I "glitch" signal is sent. That's the trick...getting our cars "driveable" in the event the dreaded error code is triggered for any reason.

In case this is helpful at all, I just installed my CLB from Thunder Racing last week. Worked like a champ and haven't had a problem since.

Here were my instructions.
