I ran into the same issue on my 02 as well. I ran across another thread which goes into more detail than this one does or the video above. Basically the easiest fix imo is to take the bottom off of the column, unplug the white solenoid and just remove it. I left mine out since that's what the majority of ppl seem to be doing with out any negative results. The only thing the solenoid does to my understanding is prevent the car from being turned off and keys removed while in gear. So as long as you know how to opperate a vehicle normally, this shouldn't be an issue. Lol. I hope this helps someone who runs across this thread instead of the more detailed one that's floating around somewhere.
