Default Colum Lock Bypass ?....

I'm sure that this has been beat to death, but it's new to me. I have a '97 and am pretty sure that I need to do the bypass. What I want to know is,

Is there any difference for the Auto and the MN6 (what I have).

Also should I even bother seeing if my car qualifies for the GM fix, our just buy aftermarket.

Too late.....I do know how to spell Column, but I'm still learning to type!

:rolleyes: :lol:

Thanks for the help!

Corvettes of Houston still had them last week. I did my 99 this weekend, took about 25 mins. WIsh I had done it sooner for peace of mind.

For a 6 speed I would just get the bypass, at least that is what I did long before the recall or TSB :smash:
Supposedly LAPD also has some.

Did you just buy the 97 used? If so, do you hear a buzzing, actuating sound in the steering column when you turn the key on/off? If not, you have the bypass.

Check out my site for pic-by-pic instructions.

Pat97Vette,

I'm sure that I have the CL, but not for long. I just bought one from another member. Thanks for all the help guys. :cool:

Oh and thanks for the install directions :cheers:
