Default **update**

Not sure if any of you remember, but I was having the column lock problem on my 03 manual. Put a new battery in and it solved the engine stall problem so I'm cool with that part obviously. Now, I'm ready to sell the car but I'm still getting the "Pull Key Wait 10 Secs" on the DIC. Will the "k harness" (?) cure that? If so, point me in the direction of one and I'll be done finally. Thanks.

Install the CLB if not yet installed.

The "Pull Key......." could be simply that the key pellet is being misread.

Be sure to clean the pellet on the key(s) for a start. Worn or dirty contacts that connect with the pellet could also be the cause.

Default Uuuggggghhhhhhhhhh!

This !@#$% car! I went to get in it to move it today and it's shutting off again. At this point, a stick of dynamite would serve me very well! I'm really beginning to hate this car. Stupid !@#$% column lock BS. So I guess I'm gonna have to take this thing to the stealership and let them charge me a fortune for doing next to nothing by raising the fuel cutoff. I thought by putting in a new battery and the car running just fine that it was fine now. So every time the key is removed, it can go back to shutting off? I'm so mad at this point that I seriously want to part this car out! I will be so glad when this thing is gone! Sorry for the rant.

Sorry to be blunt but you have ignored what is confirmed on this forum over and over and over again. Just install the CLB and quit bitchin'....
