New Stereo system = Service Column Lock
Just installed a new stereo system in the 2000 6 spd coupe. Went to drive the car and get the Pull Key Wait 10 seconds, then the Service Column Lock message appears. Steering wheel is not locked but fuel does shut off if you try to drive it.
Have CLB installed and no problems until now. I did use a wire from the PCM to give accessory power to the head unit. There is a plug with a black, yellow, and orange wire. In the C5 audio threads it is recommended to use this yellow wire for that purpose.
Fuse 23 is good and fuse 25 is good as mentioned to check in the FAQ's.
Battery is at full charge. Never heard of Alpine throwing this code.
Suggestions?

Could this be an ignition switch thing? I've checked everything I can think of including uninstalling and reinstalling the CLB. Same code.
Don't know whether to scratch my watch or wind my butt.
