a MUST HAVE item for every C5 Corvette
There are nice item, note to have items and there are MUST HAVE items. If you own a C5 Corvette (that is, a Corvette produced between 1997 and 2004), weather your Corvette has had all factory recalls installed or not, automatic or manual transmission, you absolutely must buy and install this device. This device eliminates once and for all, the dreaded Service Steering Column Lock message and the associated reduction of engine speed to 2 miles an hour, and the physical locking of the steering column. Many, if not all original owners of C5 Corvette has experienced with issue. Second or third owners may not have had this happen to them as more owners are aware of the issue and have installed correcting devices.
However, the various fixes, some by GM and some by aftermarket remedies have not always been successful. From what I have read, this simple to install device, which attaches to the BCM (Body Control Module) which is located under the passenger foot well and completely eliminates the threat of the steering column locking as well as the associated 2 MPH throttle reduction.
There are YouTube video of the installation process. The install is extremely simple and straight forward. Once done, you will have eliminated one of most dreaded faults in the C5 Corvette.
