Well as soon as I did what I wrote, I never had an other issue. It would be the worst thing to get stuck in some parking lot somewhere with this prob. I was lucky it happened in my driveway. Let me know how you make out.

I have an 04 Vette along with a good extended warranty. So, when I got the message "Service Column Lock", I took it in to my local Chevy dealership. They diagnosed it as an internal failure in lock and replaced the steering column lock actuator. Now, one month later, I'm getting the same message. Although my battery is original equipment, they made no mention of this being the possible culprit. So, should I take my car back to the dealership and see if I need another actuator, or should I just go to my local Auto Zone and buy a battery? Which brings me to my next question - Optima or Auto Zone battery?
Thanks in advance.

HI there,
MOST DEFINATELY REMOVE THE CLB.
Plug in the actuator and then reevaluate the concern.
REMEMBER THAT THE ONLY WAY TO CLEAR SERVICE COLUMN LOCK, is to disconnect the negative battery terminal for 3 mins and then reconnect.
if the fault is still there, the message will come back.
