There is a cable from under the console to the rear of the lock mechanism for 1998, not sure of your year. That bit of cable tends to get stuck and a drop of OIL will help matters. Once you get the plastic clamshell off the steering column you should be able to see what I am talking about.
You cannot remove the lock, don't even try. The factory uses break-off bolts to secure the lock in place.
