If it doesn't then you only have to pay the shipping to send it back. I'd jump at that. The CLB does work on some of the early cars and I hope yours is one of those on which it works........

Ya the website says 2% of the 97 and 98 vets have problems with the CLB. Hopefully im OK. Still curious if I can also get another harness K under the GM 05081 Specialty Policy, just to have on the side in case I fall in that 2%,--- options!

The only way to find out is to go try to negotiate with the local dealer, or file a claim directly with GM. IF you got lots of time, it cannot hurt to try.
Order the ThunderRacing CLB as a backup.
I still have a Harness K kit in my Z06 and it works fine.

Update-- my column locked again with the factory actuator pluged in. I messed with it until the actuator retracted while the car was running I unpluged the actuator --so it is in the retracted/unlocked position. I ordered CLB from Thunder Racing 2day air, its in and perfect. I really did not think it would work. It is a few days now and no problems. Now everyone can say I told u so, anyway thank you everyone for your help.
