Service Steering Column

by Dave
(Springfield, IL)

2000 Convert with new Service Steering Column message. I can turn the wheels left and right with the key off, so I assume my steering column has either been fixed as part of the recall or had a bypass installed. Car starts, but does quit at the 2mph level. Cleared all DIC codes, removed Fuses 25 and 29 as your book suggests. No change in results. My Corvette mechanic wants to replace the steering column lock mechanism. First - will this correct the problem? Will it still likely fail later? If I replace this mechanism, should I also install a bypass kit? Any suggestions on how to fix the issues in any other manner?

Thank you !!
