How do you unlock a steering wheel It is locked and the key will not work? |
Answer
take the steering wheel off and all the hardware. there should be a plate in there that has a small rod, no more than 2" long going though it. that's the lock. pull it out and it's not gonna lock anymore.
Answer
It also can be in a bind. Pull the wheel hard in each direction, while turning the key.
Answer
This is called torque lock, and is caused when you remove the key when you have the wheel turned hard. Avoid this by letting go of the steering wheel before you turn the car off.
Answer
Put the key into ignition. Next, you can just turn the wheel to the direction that it got stuck in. For example, you accidently moved the steering wheel to the right really hard, and now it's stuck. Just turn it to the right all the way (which most likely make the steering wheel move 1/120th of a turn). Than all you have to do is turn the key and the wheel at the same time. Yay, your steering wheel isn't stuck anymore! =)
