It installs easily in the passenger footwell without disassembling the steering column, and comes with detailed instructions and video support. Available in multiple kits to suit your needs, it ensures a seamless driving experience backed by U.S.-based tech support. ## Description Over 126,000 1997-2004 Corvettes were recalled due to steering column lock system problems. A column lock failure can disable these C5 Corvettes: All 97-04 manual trans, 97-00 auto trans, 01-04 European export auto trans. Note: Only US Domestic 01-04 w/auto trans are not susceptible to a column lock failure. Recall work has disabled the physical column lock in most C5s, but failures can still occur in these Corvettes resulting in Pull Key, Wait 10 Seconds and Service Column Lock messages, and the dreaded 2 mph fuel cut-off. If your C5’s steering wheel still locks with the key out, a failure can cause all of the above problems, AND leave the steering wheel stuck locked. The LMC5 simulates a perfectly functioning column lock system, installs easily in the passenger footwell , makes no permanent modifications to your Corvette, and requires NO removal or alteration of any recall procedures or any other column lock replacement device. The 100% solid-state LMC5, with no moving parts, repairs and/or prevents virtually ALL column lock failures from disabling your Corvette. We have 3 different LMC5 Kits available. Please choose the right one for you: LMC5 - If your steering wheel turns freely. LMC5 & Unlocker Combo - If your steering wheel is stuck in the locked position. Our Unlocker can help unlock the steering wheel. LMC5 & Unlocker & Tool Kit Combo - If your steering wheel is stuck in the locked position. This combo includes 1/4 and 5/16 wrenches, so you don’t need anything else to complete the LMC5 installation and unlock your steering wheel. Our tech support team has worked with thousands of column lock systems and we provide free, US based, telephone tech support 9-5 pst, Mon-Sat. We can answer every imaginable column lock question and provide complete installation assistance. If your column is stuck locked, don’t despair! We’ve never found a column that we couldn’t help get unlocked!All trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Review: Save me a ton of $ - This part was a life saver. My c5 would shut off if i went beyond 2 mph. I initially thought it was a motor problem but after doing research it turns out it was this LMC5 issue. My steering wheel did not lock therefore i did not need the unlock portion. The part came same day and install was very straightfoward. I watched a video as well as read the instructions which were all the same. Install took about 15 mins, the hardest part was releasing the wires from the pins. Once installed the car started right up and was back to normal. This would have probably cost me thousands had I taken it in for a diagnostic. The part is simple, quality is good and you cannot beat the price . Review: LMC5 module - Easy install with great instructions and a you tube video to follow helped too. Chevy should never have taken the key off the steering column and us C5 owners would never have had this problem! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0744X5DD3 | | Brand | Compliance Parts | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (643) | | Date First Available | July 21, 2017 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 2.08 ounces | | Item model number | 5001 | | Manufacturer | Compliance Parts | | Manufacturer Part Number | 5001 | | Package Dimensions | 7.13 x 2.68 x 1.06 inches | | Voltage | 12 Volts | ## Images ![LMC5 Module - C5 Corvette steering column lock bypass module Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61GzuJs3UAL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Save me a ton of $ *by L***J on December 23, 2025* This part was a life saver. My c5 would shut off if i went beyond 2 mph. I initially thought it was a motor problem but after doing research it turns out it was this LMC5 issue.

Chevy should never have taken the key off the steering column and us C5 owners would never have had this problem! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Resolved "wait 10 seconds"! *by A***K on July 30, 2021* C5 prototype convertible Corvette began getting "wait 10 seconds, reinsert key" messages. Steering column would lock preventing departure. Steering column in my case would unlock if jarred repeatedly via palm strikes to steering wheel . Suspected solenoid since steering column lock recall was performed years ago. To my disbelief, this worked exactly as the directions indicated it would. Quick summary: make sure column is unlocked, unhook battery, remove passenger side access to expose fuse box and body control module box with 3 connectors, Disconnect all three, swap wires as indicated attaching the lc5, carefully make sure each wire is firm, ground, tuck away any excess wire, replace module and plugs, replace cover, hook up battery, and DONE! Didn't even have to clear codes. No problems so far. Great product and I hope this summary helps someone as minor problems like this will naturally creep up with age of any machine. One other assist, I previously replaced factory style battery (lead acid) with red top Optima (hybrid gel). This will prevent low voltage which can trigger security including steering column lock and fuel shutoff. PRIOR to the gel hybrid, the car killed batteries. Will update if any complications. Update: If at any time after install your driver info center says "Service column lock" try unkooking the negative side of the battery. Wait a few minutes & reconnect. This is in the directions but I didnt notice bc my error message oddly showed up later. Now working perfectly with no error messages and the error has not re-appeared nor generated any diagnostic codes since then and it has been about 2 weeks.. ## Frequently Bought Together - Compliance Parts LMC5 Module - C5 Corvette steering column lock bypass module Black - Muzzys Skip Shift Eliminator FITS: 1993-2025 Camaro and 1997-2019 Corvette C5 C6 C7 CAGS Bypass Kit - KOROP Lifting Jack Pad (4pcs) Compatible with Chevy Corvette C5 C6 C7 C8, Rubber Lift Point Adapter Jack Pucks with Storage Bag --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/66258439-lmc5-module-c5-corvette-steering-column-lock-bypass-module-black](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/66258439-lmc5-module-c5-corvette-steering-column-lock-bypass-module-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
