aAZZ Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 So recently my car has been giving me problems on start up, at first I thought it was the battery so changed that and worked good for a day or two but problem came back. I go to turn it on and you can just hear a click. After doing some research it looks like its the column lock feature on the c6. I guess its a common issue and i'm sure that's it because when the car doesn't start I unplug the battery and plug it back in and it starts right away. Just wondering if any of you here have had that problem on a 05 vette and if you have done the Column Lock Eliminator. Just want to see if its going to make the problem go away as it's getting really anoyying dealing with this every other day. Thanks for the feedback.

TheCMSH Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Column lock issue is a known carry over issue from the C5 to the '05 C6, are you getting the "pull key, wait 10 seconds" message on the DIC? If you could get a code scanner check and see what code(s) it might be storingIt sounds suspiciously like a battery cable problem if you don't have a message or codes associated with it. Check the connections down by the starter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the connections down by the starterNo i am not. I kno my negative battery terminal was loose as well so I went ahead and changed that as well. I will check the starter connections later tonight see if I see anything fishy there i guess. I went ahead and ordered the Column lock eliminator regardless as it seems like i'll eventually run into that problem down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCMSH Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Just for giggles put that new battery on a trickle charge too. Surprising how discharged a new battery can be. I've puchased new batteries and had them bad right out of the gate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found the culpritSo now either need another starter or take this somewhere to get fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCMSH Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Holy disintegration Batman! I have zero rebuild recommendations, hopefully some others can kick in. I remember there being a place on Cave Creek Rd south of Cactus but I've never had to used them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blk n Blu Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Holy disintegration Batman! I have zero rebuild recommendations, hopefully some others can kick in. I remember there being a place on Cave Creek Rd south of Cactus but I've never had to used them Elliot Electric, but they no longer rebuild. There is a place in Glendale that they used. Problably easier to get a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie's probably right on the assessment, probably way less heartburn and not that much more money in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
