Column Lock Bypass done....finally!

[novat_99]

After 8 months of riding around with my newly purchased CLB in the console...I finally worked up enough courage to tear open the lower dash to install the CLB. Actually, I did it more out of fear that I have been living on borrowed time for far too long & didn't want to wait for the day the Z06 would need flatbed service with a malfunctioning locked column.

After getting over the initial shock of removing interior trim panels...the install is fairly simple....although, it always helps to have good instructions like these:

And this setup:

Now the scary looking part:

And who would have thought that all this would fit under the passenger's floormat:

A quick unplugging of the column lock wiring harness:

And then plug this bypass device in it's place:

Then, simply put everything back in place...managing NOT to have any leftover parts;ae.

All done....and no more sound of the column lock engaging....time for a nice cold drink!
