Default Steering Wheel Position Sensor

Hello All,

I drive a 2000 C-5 and I am in need of a steering wheel position sensor. It is to my understanding that the manufacturer went out of business and now the dealership or myself can't find one. Does anyone know of a reliable source where one can be purchased. I'm in the dumps with the car not being available to me at this time.

Regards,

V. Robinson

Try forum Vendor - Gene Culley at GM Parts house. If he can't find one then try Corvette Recycling for a used one. Both have links to their web sites on the list to the left hand side of the screen. Good Luck.

A used sensor will not work. Once it's installed on the column you pull out a pin. Once that's out you can't reinstall the same sensor because it wont give an acurate center.

Try Gene Culley as suggested. I'm guessing that if anyone can find it, it would be him.
