Some people have had luck by tapping on the ipd steering lock box with a mallet via screwdiver etc while trying to start the car. It may lossen the screw drive mechanism enough to power up. Once it is in the "on" mode (not running), PULL THE FUSE! problem gone forever.

This. Rubber mallet, tap lock mechanism, push start button without clutch or brake pedal, if/when i starts pull fuse and throw it away. This method costs $0 and about 15 minutes if youre lucky.
