At the dealer expect to pay between $500 to $600 If your talented and can remove the steering column and have a buddy to help you guide it back togeather then go for it yourself.

The dealer is quite expensive. I ordered the part from Fred Beans and had my local Corvette mechanic install it for me. He charged me $200 labor to do the job. I thought about doing it myself, but decided that it wasn't worth taking the chance of screwing it up!

Or if you don't have Active Handling, you might check to see if it can be disabled with a Tech2. Just a thought.

Easy fix, takes about 2HR max. $180.00 at Fred Bean's for part.

When I did this job, I discovered that the wiring on the steering
column is long enough that you don't have to disconnect any
wires or remove the column completely from the car.

Maybe this helps you, maybe not.
