Carzymike1987 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Hi everyone, not been on here in a while, So was charging the battery this am and accidentally locked the steering, The problem is as I go to start the car nothing, the key will not turn at all. I have tried to turn the key a little and disengage the lock but that won't work either Has anyone had this problem and am I being thick??

supra900bhp Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Have you tryed the key in the lock as normal but pulling the steering wheel about?? My old bmw did it all the time if you pulled the wheel round with out engine running it locks out but under tension all I ever did was got in put key in turn key slowly and move wheel left and right to pull the tension off the locking pin click she fired up no probs oh other thing if it's auto mine won't turn or start if it's not in park! Let us know how you get on Edited February 6, 2015 by supra900bhp (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Is it an auto by any chance? If its in gear it wont let the key out, ive done this once or twice, get you in a bit of a panic for a few seconds til you come to my senses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 It'll be the steering lock as mentioned. You'll have to use some force to move the wheel whilst turning the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
