Did you pull the steering wheel off with a puller. So you are looking at the turn signal switch? If so then the turn signal switch has i think 2-3 screws to get off. you just want to move that so you can get to the set screw for the switch. the switch is only held in with one long set screw. removeing that you should be able to pull the cylinder right out. Hope that helps
remove steering wheel , there is an little botton in the colum to push ine when igntion is turned to the on position , then pull on igntion .
move the stearing left and right and simultaneously try removing the key.

It's all part of the ignition switch assembly. The "Click" is usually the steering wheel lock pin dropping into place.

how to change igntion lock
if it is the ignition switch, there are to torx sercuirty bits located on the right side of the steering wheen under the trim, if you are talking about the cylinder, there is a button underneath the colum by the tilt, you have to turn the key to the run position and press the button and the lock should pop right out
if water is getting on the coil pack. that will cause it to burn out.
My 2000 Catera does the same and that is why I am here today searching for answers..............my suspicion is the immobilizer may be shutting off the fuel and igntion and that module I have yet to find................on another discussion it was said to be in the steering columbe under the lock barrell
carb, cam, intake, headers, heads, msd igntion, or a 350
