Hmm, got a link or two? Every account I have ever read indicated that you have to unlock the steering wheel FIRST before installing the CLB. The CLB itself will NOT unlock the steering wheel if it is already locked up.
But heck, I'm always willing to learn something new....

This one is expesive but...
NOTE: The lighter plug pictured above is only used to unlock your steering column during the installation. It is not needed after the installation is complete.

Guys, I don't understand how the column locks AFTER the recall has been done by GM. According to the info in the bulletin at
http://nhthqnwws111.odi.nhtsa.dot.go...4V060-8939.PDF
on pages 10 and 11 it says that the column lock plate is removed and replaced by a cam orientation plate (just a big filler washer that replaces the thickness lost when the lock plate was removed) that has no teeth to be engaged to lock the column. My 2000 had the recall done on it before I bought it, and I expect that the column will NEVER lock up again. Am I missing something here???

in short they are full of sh**
there are numerous posts on the other forum about people being stuck AFTER the GM fix. It flat doesn't work. GM had a chance to buy the rights to the CLB but was in denial about the problem so they came up with the crap they have now. The first fix was 4 hours and involved pulling your steering wheel...the new fix is a re-flash. Either way you are spending time at the dealer for something you can fix yourself in under 30 minutes.
your choice...I got bit 2 times.....after that I said GM could kiss my a$$
