You have to get the SLU into the the unlocked position before disabling it. Try rapping on the SLU with fist, shoe, hammer, whatever it takes and then see if ignition will go to ACC or ON. Repeat as necessary. Once SLU unlocks, do NOT turn the ignition off until you disable it. DIYs are posted for cutting the wire, installing a harness, and removing the fuse. I've collected a lot links to SLU info at Links to posts about Steering Wheel Lock.
