Hello,

I'm in major pain right now. The steering wheel was turned to far to the left and the steering wheel is locked. The ignition key won't turn and I can't start my car. Anyone know a problem os a fix. I can't straighten the steerong wheel and my tires look rather straight.


Please respond asap.

Thank you,

Its a safety devise (sort of), when the steering wheel is locked the key wont turn. I damn near stripped my ignition when I first bought the car because I didnt know what the hell was going on. Your steering wheel should move a little bit, if it does try turning the key as you move the steering wheel as far as it goes, you just gotta play with it...hope that helps.

 

Thanks I triesd that already it's been a coupl of days and I still can't get it to work.

Thanks again.

 

ok i'm not exaclty sure this is the way to disable it..but if u look at the ign key cyl you see a lighted right around it...pop that off and if i remember correctly there's a switch or something u flip back there that will release the steering wheel..but i may be wrong...take a look.

this happened to me a few times. the first time I had no clue what to do....To unlokc oput the key in the ignotion and while ur trying to turn the key...turn the wheel left/right hard like slamming it to the sides. After like 3 times it'll unlock and you're in business.
