Car wont start!!!
 
Car drove fine in the morning. Went to turn it on later and nothing happens. The car reads the key, and key light turns on. I can also lock and unlock the car. I can move the steering wheel without it locking? Any ideas???

What about your clutch or brake? can you move those at all?

Yes clutch and brake feel normal.

Does it crank at all? I left my car "on" (without engine on) all day while I was at work and pretty much the same thing happened. Lights worked, windows, rolled down, all that, only thing was it wouldn't turn over. Might just need a jump.

Thanks! I'll try the jump tomorrow ended up leaving the car at work and took a company car home. I'll keep you guys posted. I'm hoping it's not that steering lock issue

If you can move the steering wheel its not the steering wheel lock column as stated in OP.

If the brake and clutch are fine and can be pushed in etc....

Does it have gas? :ugh2: (no joke there have been times that people post stuff about the car not starting and it has been that they didn't have gas lol)
Battery Voltage gauge read normal?

i think you should push it, clutch start it.

Not true. The locking pin can retract enough to free the wheel but still not make the internal switches.

key battery might be low...i've read that you can just change the batteries on the fob and it should start right up....not sure though GL

The way he made it sound is that it doesn't lock at all. Of course there is a different interpretation to everyone. :tup:
And in the new post made in the general discussions part of the forum OP states that he can move it and then it locks.

So based on what was told in the OP of this thread. I am not completely wrong especially since I cannot see or feel exactly what is going on :tiphat: :drama:

Thx for all the help really appreciate it, going to take the battery out and get it tested. But i can move the steering wheel in both directions without it getting locked. I also posted in the general discussion, needed fast answers.

It won't do any good to pull the fuse if the ESCL is not allowing the car to start. See link in my sig for more info.
