Need "Column Lock" help
And YES I read the sticky before anyone asks (just not the entire 82 pages).
Here's my problem...I was biten by the column lock bug this weekend so I disconnected the negative battery cable, pulled both PCM A & B fuses, and pulled BCM fuse 25. I then took the 6 month old battery to the parts store to be tested and it passed their load test and showed a 95% charge, so they charged it to 100%. I then put everything back together again and I still get the "Pull Key Wait 10 Sec" message....followed by the "Service Column Lock" message. I repeated the above steps numerous times to no avail. So my question is even though my column unlocks (i can actually turn my steering wheel) will installing a CLB keep my fuel from being cut off?....or will i have to take my car to the $#%^! dealer first?

Check your PM's again. If you are experiencing the fuel shutoff as the first post indicates, then some type of column lock work was done by the dealer. The 2mph fuel shutoff was not set at the factory. It resulted from a dealer flashing the PCM with an image that has the fuel shutoff set to 2mph.
Get a copy of the GMVIS for your VIN and look at the service history for reference to 01044, the predacessor of the NHTSA forced recall.
