#15774 - 08/11/10 07:25 PM Steering colume locked
laraoke Junior Member Registered: 08/10/10 Posts: 1 Loc: Sierra Vista, AZ	I have a 2000 corvette convertible. I had to take the battery out. After putting it back in, I when to start the car and the warning light came on that said to take the key out and wait ten seconds. I did that, and put the key back in-then it told me that the steering column was locked. This morning I check it again and it was ok. So I drove it to work. When I left work, it did it again. Can anybody help me with this problem? I believe it might be my chip in the key and the car is not recognizing it.
