Not sure if recall has been performed, But gonna call & check & see if I can get a break. But knowing my luck!
But from what I have read. This is GM defect & GM has done a really good job at avoiding taking responsbilty for it. So we will see how it plays outGOD BLESS TEXAS

I had this happen to my z06 that already had the recall preformed. I ended up fixing it for .99. Shake the accordion tube where the wires run through from the door and body. If you lights flicker on your door switches this could be the main problem. Theres a wire where the connection is made in that accordion that the plastic sheath pulls away and exposes the wire. That in turns causes it to arc and do whatever the hell it does to cause that wait 10 seconds message to appear. After wrapping it with electrical tape I never got the message again and my switches worked every time after. If that doesnt work you could install a K-harness that supposed to bypass the column lock. I believe theres one on CL at the moment. Almost all electrial problems on these cars can be traced back to dirty grounds so so check all those too.
