Sounds like the lock pin is wedged a little. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds handiandy2003 New User Mar 12, 2007, 7:33 AM Post #4 of 4 (2691 views) Re: steering wheel locked Sign In This is funny to me but I know not for you. Its funny because this happened to me yesterday while I was out. My sterring wheel locked real tight and the ignition would not turn at all, it was real tight also. I kept trying to move my steering wheel, and I kept trying to turn the ignition with the key. You have to get the steering whell unclocked for the ignition to turn over. Keep trying to move the steering wheel, even if it moves a little, it has to unlock for the ignition to turn on. Right now you wheel is locked solid. This does happen now and then. I have spoken to a few others and they have told me the same. You have to give that steering wheel a good move but dont do it where you will break it and end up with other problems. It can be done. Take your time and have faith. Good luck and let me know how your doing.
