Thanks everyone for your advice. I have the upper and lower plastic covers off the steering column and the lock is sticking out an inch or so from the metal dash. I've felt around it outside and inside the dash and haven't detected a pin or anything else that might retain the lock. Unfortunately the green manuals don't go into anything but removing the entire lock and "dead bolt" that locks the steering. Because of the deadbolt, the entire assembly has to come straight out of the side. So, the column would have to come out to remove it.

I'm going to remove the electrical switch and try using it drive the car. The steering column is not locked with the key in the #3 position. I purchased the switch from IPD and installed it about a year ago. The old switch was intermittent and I had to wiggle the key sometimes to make good contact.
