My problem is during the troubleshooting procedure to try to start up the car I did the following things: disconnected the battery and rolled down the windows. Now Since the car Wont start and with the drivers key i'm not able to activate the windows roll up procedure, what Can i Possibly do while my new steering lock arrives??

I took the car FROM the dealer, they don't know supposedly about the dreaded steering lock problem, they would charge me 1400 dollars and the wait time for the part is 2 weeks minimun. Dealers on the island kinda suck.
<- Puerto Rico

I ordered the part from fredbeans. great pricing / service. wished we had something like that over here.

You took it from the dealer already having an issue? Is that correct?

The car Exhibited the issue when at the dealer service parking. The car is out of bumper to bumper warranty (48k miles) and the part itself is 1300$ + install and they expect shipment on two weeks time... Glorious service... so that's why I took the car back.

I can fix the car myself for ~500 bucks and 10 minutes sitting upside down on the car. Ordered the part next day ship.
