[QUOTE="1 BAD 9T9, post: 203795, member: 3083"] Been a while since I sold my C5, but "steering collumn lock" was a very serious and costly problem for me when the steerin wheel actually locked while driving and It could not be unlocked. Went through all the 04006C GM Product Safety Recall mechanics at the dealer and after 10 hours labour they gave up. I drove 700 km to pick up a "lock bypass" kit NO. 5650631000 from Corvette Central but this only corrected the computer. The steering collumn still would not unlock. The dealer said I needed to install a new lock motor for $900 and because my car was a manual transmission, GM would not let the dealer install a blank lock [ATTACH]39023[/ATTACH]disc like they use in the US. I asked the mechanic if he had a Dumor grinder and told him to grind off the lock pin. I had to go to all of this trouble because I only had 4 days to be ready to drive around the track at the Detroit Grand Prix. All good ever since, but suggest anybody with a C5 install this kit.
