Today, ignition was stuck in LOCK. Both key fobs work fine to lock/unlock the car, battery seems fine. Cannot get ignition out of LOCK.

Found this thread, and thought it might be my issue. Tried smacking the Steering Wheel Lock box, didn't do anything.

I noticed that I can move the steering wheel with the car off, the steering wheel is not locked at all.

From what I have been reading, the "Steering Wheel Lock" issue is the opposite, the steering wheel is stuck in lock. I'm thinking mine is stuck in unlock???

Does that make sense? Any ideas?

Thanks everyone.
Look underneath again at the module then find the pink wire, stick a pink in there then use a wrench to ground it to the metal. While you have it grounded, have someone press on the push start to see if it gets out of lock. If it does then it is a steering lock problem.
