Try this...there'e a small lot to the right of your transmission. Stick your ignition key all the way in and it will unlock the steering wheel. I'm not sure if this is what you were looking for but best of luck! Bob

Same device different name.
it is used as a locking device to secure a range of parts
The 2002 Chevy Silverado does not come with a traditional locking steering wheel feature as part of its ignition system. Instead, it has a column-mounted ignition lock that engages when the key is removed, preventing the steering wheel from turning if the key is not in the ignition. However, this is not the same as a dedicated locking mechanism found in some other vehicles. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific details about your vehicle's features.
