Elect Steering Column Lock Fuse Delete not working

1991Z32

SO it has been 60 days since I pulled the fuse on my failing ESCL and over the last two weeks I have started having the same issues I had before the fuse delete.
Main symptom - car will cycle through the starting sequences and the starter will not engage and start engine. Eventually after several attempts the engine starts fine. It went from not happening, to sporadic, to everytime I try to start it in a period of about two weeks to the point I am not driving it.

What I have done to get the engine to start previousy- knock on the steering lock box, pump the clutch pedal repeatedly while pressing the start button.

As noted in previous posts, I have done the fuse delete and it worked sucessfully for the last two months...

Any guesses as to what it might be since the symptoms are identical to before the fuse delete??

Thanks
