My steering lock module crapped out. What I ended up doing was finding the module underneath the steering column and giving it a few wacks with a rubber mallet while repeatedly pressing the ignition button. what this does is it helps loosen the gears that fail inside the module. Only issue with that, is that it will fail again. So my recommendation is to force it to "unlock" then proceed with pulling the fuse.
