01 Zo6 steering wheel locked HELP !!!!!!!
Need your help guys,,,,
put key in ignition started the Z06 and the steering wheel will not unlock called GM chevrolet and they said that there was a recall and it had been performed back in earley 02, that the steering wheel lock rod was removed or something to that effect was done. I am really STUCK if you know what I mean as soon as I put in First gear and move a few feet it turns off, it will re-start. I tried to reset the alarm, to off then on several times still will not unlock the steering wheel.

See the "Steering Column Lock FAQs"thread at the top of this page in the sticky section. The steering column lock issue is "whipped to death" nearly every week. You need to purchase a column lock bypass from one of the forum vendors. BTW, if both of the recalls had been performed on your car, the steering column would not actually lock because one of the recalls actually requires removing one of the physical components that locks the steering wheel. If your steering column actually locks, then the second recall has not been done.

try turning the key to the position that just turns on all of the electrical components, but dosent start the car. then yank the wheel to the right and left, sometimes that will get it loose. If that dosnet work i herd that unhooking the battery for about an half hour will reset everything
