Car wont start.

Please tell me this isnt that damn steering lock issue...
The inteli key indicator light is solid ON while the car is off. I press the ignition and the ignition light stays on LOCKED. I was thinking it was a low battery in my key fob so I tried my second one with the same result. Could it possibly be both my batteries need replacing? or does this sound exactly like the effing steering lock issue.

Yeah yeah I know you told me to pull the brownie.

Sounds like steering lock if you don't hear the whine sound from the lock. What year is your Z? and the model on the lock A, B, C, or D?

its a 40th. built Jan 2010 so its a strong possibility. I dont hear any sounds. It's like im pushing a button on my keyboard when my computer is off when Im trying to start the car

I'm afraid you've been bit.
Try beating on the damn thing and see if you can get it unstuck (you can find DIYs on this site; the link in my sig is a good place to start). Then, without turning the car off, pull the brownie or cut the fuse.

Sucks that my car got stuck at work which is 20 minutes away from my house in my work parking lot. friggen embarrassing. I'm able to move my steering wheel from left to right a couple inches so im not sure what is actually stuck. My brakes wont engage. all so strange.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's the steering lock sorry. Don't feel bad I haven't pulled mine either because of extended warranty. I have June 2010 build and the last C revision lock so maybe I might get lucky but I doubt it down the line.

I was planning to pull the fuse this weekend when I was going to install my new intake. just bad luck. What about rental car? how long does something like this take to fix normally?

(May I suggest buying an extended warranty now? Lol)
