CAGS Bypass
Thanks everyone for your help! There are probably many places you can buy the bypass. One is West Coast Corvettes in Placentia, CA. They have a web site. Price is less than $20 I believe.

Ok, I bought one and installed it, the packaging said '97-01. Possibly it was just sitting on the shelf for a few years, but it appears to be the same for all C5's. On many aftermarket suppliers' websites they advertise this part for '97-'04. Anyhow, it works perfectly. No trouble codes.

That part # at Radio Shack is 22000 ohm (22K ohm), is that right?
