Corvette Column Lock Bypass Fixes a known problem area with Corvette C5. Do not get caught in the middle of nowhere or out on a date only to find out that your sterring wheel is completely locked up and you cannot drive without going in a constant circle. If you have a C5 Corvette, the column lock bypass switch is a MUST, otherwise you are playing with fire everytime you turn your car off and restart. The column lock bypass fixes this issue so that it cannot happen to you. This kit works on all 1997-2005 C5 Corvettes and includes everything you need to install (including instructions). It also comes with 12 volt adapter to disable the lock before installing the bypass device.

*This item is a preventative only! Vehicle must not have any problems before installing the bypass!***

Steering Lock Simulator Kit For 1997-2004 Corvettes Please read all instructions before beginning Kit contains: Lighter plug assembly, lock simulator Tools needed: flathead screwdriver and a Torx screwdriver Don’t perform any electric service with the vehicle on or with the keys in the ignition!! Installing this module will remove the steering lock function from your anti-theft system. The simulator will provide the proper signal to your vehicle computer to prevent error codes. Refer to your GM manual for disassembly procedures if necessary. Gently pull the trunk release / fog lamp switch plate away from the dashboard assembly and unplug the connector revealing one screw behind it. Remove this screw. Remove two screws located under the dashboard kneepad. (If equipped) Remove the interior air temperature sensor cover plate and unplug it revealing one screw. Remove this screw. Gently pull the dashboard kneepad away from the steering column and remove it. Find the four wires (black, green, orange, and purple) running under the dash to their connector and unplug it. This is the steering lock mechanism connector. Plug the column lock simulator into the connector that was previously connected to the steering lock mechanism (step 5). The steering lock mechanism MUST now be disengaged using the lighter power plug assembly. Connect the lighter power plug assembly connector to the locking mechanism connector unplugged in step 5 and the vehicle lighter receptacle. Turn key on momentarily. You should hear the steering lock mechanism disengage. Make certain the steering wheel moves freely, if not, refer to GM manual for removal of locking mechanism instruction. You must free the steering wheel before continuing. Remove the lighter plug assembly as it is no longer needed. Secure the column lock simulator under the dash using tape strip provided. Installation is complete. Reassemble the vehicle as needed. If a “service column lock” or pull key and wait 10 sec, error is displayed, remove the ignition key and fuses No. 25 and No. 29 from the fuse panel. Wait one minute and replace.

I got the message every time I start or turn off the car, "Service Column Lock". Will this take care of that message too?

RPIDON

yes it will and it stays in the car so if it needs to be reset you just have to plug it back into the cigarette lighter again. Thanks, Don

Hi PRIDON, do you have a C6 version of this product? I have a 2005 C6 manual Z51 and the Service column lock is on for the 2nd time. The car struggles to start and it will soon stop. Battery seems to be ok but may be weak. The steering lock does unlatch in the ACC mode. Please let me know. Thx

RPIDON

I have heard some people mention this but the ones we have are only for the c5 1997 -2004 models, on the C5 corvette you need an ignition key to start the car where in the c6 it works off a remote key fob and a push button

If you own a c5 Corvette this is a must have, if steering has not locked up yet it will eventually happen. use coupon code RPIDON5 and save 5%
