Default Steering Column Lock Problems

I just checked with my favorite Chevy dealer Vette tech. Any 6 speed C5 that has had the Column Lock Recall done can be fixed as follows:

Disconnect the CL as described in the CLB instructions with the motor running and MAKE SURE the CL UNLOCKED. The result is a disabled CL. You will get a DIC message "Service Steering Column" each time you start but just hit reset and go on your way. No adverse effects occur. My 99 is fixed!!

Good luck!

This may work, but I wonder what ramifications it might have; i.e., BCM contacts? :confused:

I asked the Vette tech that specific question and he said no problem.
