Well mine did lock, I got the wheel free then installed the clb but it wouldn't eliminate the service message or the 2 mph fuel shut-off. Got a tuner to bump the shut off to its max value (256mph if I remember) and: Mission Accomplished

Remove the CLB and make sure that column lock motor still works. Then use the power harness that came with the CLB and make sure that the CL Motor retracts the lock bolt. You should hear it retract and the steering wheel should be able to move with the key out of the ignition.
My CLB power harness came with a bad fuse and I had to replace it before it would work properly.

Mine came from CORVETTES OF HOUSTON with the cigarette lighter power source. I used a combination of the clb instructions and this for the images (offering an optional manner of removing fuses) for the installation...

Maybe the fuse removal would work for you. I thought it was more steps.

If it has the 2mph cut-off means that it had the factory recall, are you sure you removed the K- harness when you installed the CLB? It must be plugged into the end of the harness that is attached to the metal bracket under the dash.
Mine also had a bad relay in the passenger side footwell.
