Nope-K harness or CLB, they are mutually exclusive. Maybe that's why they think the motor is gone since it's not engaging.

How do you tell if the K harness is installed?

The K Harness still provides power to the lock. I'm not sure if this is how the BCM get's it's feedback but the K harness solution has been proven to be less effective than the CLB. If you have the CLB and there are none of the Column Lock recalls done that modified the BCM wiring then you should be able to remove the K harness and plug in the CLB for a more reliable solution.

I installed the CLB when I first bought my car in 2000 and have never had any issue. I never let GM touch the car for any recalls either.

You need to display your DTC data. If you don't know how to do it go here ....

https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...D=26&TopicID=1

When the AUTOMATIC display completes it will enter MANUAL mode. In that mode display and write down what codes you have.

A code looks like this ...... P 1234 C

The first letter will be either a P, B, C, or U ..... indicating which system the code is for.

The following 4 numbers are the code

The last letter will be a C or an H (sometimes both).

Post the ENTIRE code (as in the example ..... P1234C), and list ALL the codes found.
