DIY: Replace dreaded steering-lock on 2009s and early 2010s.

TenaciousZ

Im stuck.... The yellow key light is on and the car won't start.

I tried moving the wheel up and down (hard) and no luck.

Got a hammer and tapped on the lock itself, most likely harder than I should have and still nothing.

Took the ground wire off the battery for a few mins and that didn't help.

To add to the fun, the driver side window went down a little every time I opened it but not back up when closed, in the end leaving the window half way down.

Any ideas for how I can get it unlocked and to the dealership???????
It is under warrenty but they don't cover towing and its in a parking garage so towing would be a *****

Please help!!
