You need to hit the "Aluminum frame holding the solenoid with a small ball peen hammer", this was the only way for me to unlock my 99 C5 as well (locked in my garage, better here than on the road). I would recommend you install the LMC5 Kit for your problem. This kit fixes it at the BCM and not at the Steering Wheel, and it also fixes the fuel cut off as well. Lots of posting on this major issue with certain C5s... Good Luck..

....Here is a manual procedure that usually allows the column to be unlocked:

Use some arm force when you use the procedure. Sometimes you have to try MORE than once but it usually unlocks the column....
