Steering wheel lock issue or something else

Sounds like the ESCL. The locking pin has retracted enough to unlock the steering column but not enough to make the switches. Banging on the ESCL will often temporarily fix

Once you get it working or replaced, PULL THE FUSE.

If the locking pin is retracted, but the switches aren't working properly, and I want to take the ESCL apart, is there anything that you know of that can be done with the switches? I saw some stuff about soldering wires across the board (this was on an Altima ESCL), but not sure I want to attempt that. If the switches just need to work long enough to get it to ACC so I can pull the fuse, that would be ideal.
