Need help! Column lock.
My 04 z06 is my dd and I have had the column lock issue for the past week. I bought the clb and went to install to see that there was a corvettes of Houston one installed?!?! And the Chevy dealer said there is no recall for it? They said a recall has never been done to my car either. If anyone could please help, I've been car less for a week!

OK, Be the first to bite although I think this is a prank thread. NO WAY you could have this problem in a 04 with the CLB from CofH properly installed. Unless it is a faulty part. Replace iit with the "new" one.

A prank thread? I have no reason to b/s I want my car back so I can drive it. I bought a clb and while installing had found the clb from corvettes of Houston was already installed? I don't know why it would being giving me this issue. I tried my new clb from southern car parts and did not help at all. Car is sitting at a chevy dealer and I'm clueless. The dealer is telling me the k harness was never installed.

I did not intend to diss you. Just never heard of the CLB not working. Sorry for adding to your frustration.

I never had a column lock issue when I had my C5. I remember reading about turning the wheel hard while starting the car. You might try posting in C5 gen and or tech. Good luck.
