Please help service column lock problem
I have a 2001 z06 with a service column lock problem. I first had this problem about 6yrs ago but a clb solve it until recently. The service column lock and pull key for 10sec messages both came up. I figured the bypass had gone after 6yrs so I disconnected it and the car worked fine for about a month. After I got the message again, I ordered a new clb but that didn't help. Car turns off anything over 4mph. In the instructions said that it could also be the key so I went and got a new one since I was still using the original. With the new key the pull key wait 10sec message went away but the service column lock is still there. Car keeps turning off. Any suggestions what I should do next?

the car doesn't have the K harness installed. I tried 3 different bypasses different brands and still I have the message and car turns off. Any other suggestions on what it could be?

Column Lock Relay (CLR) may be fried or corroded. Without it working properly voltage never gets to the CLB so the CLB then doesn't provide the intended function.
CLR is located in the passenger foot well above the BCM. Depending upon the RPO's in your car there will be more than on relay above the BCM. CLR is easily recognised by the wire colors going into the wiring base of the relay, 1 Green, 1 White, 2 Orange and 1 Purple.
Replace the relay and see if that helps. Examine the relay connectors for corrosion. Plugged wiper well rubber udders causes water from the wiper wells to back up into the car and the CLR is right there where the water would back up. If no corrosion then the relay is likely fried due to low battery voltage
Here is a pic of a CLR.
And here is a pic of the inside of a fried CLR:
