They are saying you need a new ECM also?!?!? I call total ******** on this.

I would highly suggest trying to unlock it with the rubber mallet solution. If you can get it to unlock and into the ACC position, then leave it in that position and yank out the fuse. Doing so will leave the steering lock in a perpetual unlocked state because it is no loger receiving power and because it is unlocked you can still start your car and do everything.

I pulled the fuse out of mine a couple weeks back and haven't had any issues to speak of.
