with the control devices working correctly I believe this is internal of the solenoid ...this I have seen on these GM vehicles when this old/older..this is not a problem issue with vehicles less than 10yrs old..

by moving the lock linkage slightly then this will work ..this is the way I have found that it is internal of the solenoid..
