1997-2004 C5 Steering Column Unlocker - Fits All C5 Models
The 1997–2004 C5 Steering Column Unlocker is a simple, reliable tool designed to unlock the steering column on C5 Corvettes. It connects directly to the battery, allowing for safe and effective unlocking without damaging critical components. Ideal for owners experiencing the common steering column lock issue, this tool is essential when the column locks even when the key is turned to "ON." However, if your steering wheel rotates freely with the key removed, the Unlocker is not necessary.
The direct battery connection ensures you can unlock the steering column even with a dead or missing battery by using an external 12-volt power source. The procedure varies slightly between automatic and manual transmissions, so be sure to follow the specific instructions provided. In rare cases, if the lock motor is severely jammed, professional help may be required. Before purchasing, verify if your steering column locks with the key out to determine if the Unlocker is needed.
