Default Service Column Lock

I recently took my 2001 Z06 out of storage and the battery was weak, but the car ran fine. I charged the battery and Im now getting the column lock error msg. The car is dying after 1.5mph so Im assuming it has gotten the recall repair done. From what I have gathered, the only thing that the recall did on those cars was reprogram the pcm to shutoff the car. I also take it that after you get an error message you can no longer just buy the k harness or clb to fix the problem? what is my next step?

The dealer recall for the M6 does nothing....buy the CLB and take the 20 minutes to install it. It's worth the piece of mind....

There is a fuse you can pull that will allow you to get the car out of locked position...mine does it all of the time now..but since the fuse it pulled I just turn the car off and shock the steering wheel and it allows me to go on about my day after I turn the car back on. Very annoying..but at least I am not stuck some place.

Why not just buy the CLB? It's only like $50 and takes no time to install.

CLB = Column Lock Blocker OR Column Lock Bypass (Depends on who you talk to)
