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

I will get the battery checked out today.

After beating the crap out of the steering wheel last night, I went out this morning to try to jump it if it was a battery issue. Prior to jumping it, I tried to start it one last time and it started like nothing happened...the clock and radio reset though.

Drove it around for a while, pulled into the garage and yanked the SLU fuse to be safe.

Has started and been fine since, will still get battery check for peace of mind.

Thanks!
