By bypass, I assume you mean LMC5.

I had that problem where the unlocker would not unlock the column. Richard at Compliance Parts advised to disassemble the steering column shroud enough to tap on the mechanism with a screwdriver and hammer. Did that and it worked.

If you installed the LMC5 and still have problems. Call Richard at Compliance Parts. He is very helpful as mentioned on earlier post.

While you're at it, get your battery load tested. Often a failing battery is the cause for the column lock not to function properly.
