There is no wiring behind the cover. The cylinder moves a rod that's connected to the actual switch at the bottom of the steering column near the firewall.
What seems to be the problem with the truck?

There's a plastic cover underneath the spot where the column goes into the dash. There are two screws that hold that cover on from underneath. Remove those two screws and take off the cover. Once the cover is off you'll find an aluminum bracket that holds the column to the dash. If you look at it closely you'll find there's just two bolts that hold the lower part of that bracket which in turn sandwiches the columnn between the lower and upper bracket halves. Remove those two bolts. Once you do the column will drop down and you'll have full access to the ignition switch and wiring.
