Default Installed CLB

I installed a Column Lock Bypass in my '04 Z this weekend and it was a very simple task. I should have done it a long time ago. One question, after the install I no longer hear the accuator motor in the steering column. Is that normal with the CLB installed?

Yes, this is normal. The actuator is disabled.

When you installed the CLB, the connector that you left disconnected goes to the actuator. The actuator is no longer connected to anything so it does not cycle.
