Yet another steering column failure, fixed!
About a month ago, I became the proud owner of my dream car- a 2002 Corvette Z06. It's the best car I've ever owned, so much better than my old Camaro SS. But yesterday i got the dreaded 'service column lock'. I searched the internet, finding that sometimes a new battery fixes this, so today I was going to buy a new one, even though my Optima seems to work fine. Then I found this thread:

When I read it, I was like 'pppfffffffft, whatever.' But today, i decided it wouldnt hurt to try.
And whaddayaknow.
I've already ordered the LMC5, and I left the steering between the locks with the key out. Much cheaper fix than expected.
Thank you, pdgourno, along with the entirety of corvetteforum, for saving me lots of time and money.

I experienced a column lock issue once years ago, but was able to reset and unlock it. Yesterday I decided to order a Column Lock Bypass, then saw the thread about the LMC5 and ordered it instead. I don't want to ever have to deal with this issue down the road.
