IF ANY OF YALL ARE STUCK ON "LOCK" AND CANT EVEN GET TO ACCESSORY/IGNITION

here's my way of solving it:

The way I fixed it and got my car back running was just simply hotwiring the damn thing and doing a ghetto steering lock delete by pulling the steering lock fuse located in the fuse box.

Keep in mind you can't just pull the fuse and call it a day and start the car. There's a step by step technique for this and if you don't follow it exactly, pulling the fuse won't work.

Here's the video if any of you can't get to accessory/ignition:

Basically you gotta hotwire the car by grounding one of the pink wires in the module to get it out of lock.

While leaving the pink wire grounded to metal, cycle through lock, accessory and ignition one time just to verify that the hotwire/grounding technique works. Then on the second time LEAVE IT AT ACCESSORY, after that THEN you an pull the fuse.

After pulling the fuse, go back to the steering lock module, ground the pink wire again and put it on ignition and give it a few seconds. Keep it grounded!

While still leaving it grounded, cycle through lock, accessory, and ignition like 4 times.

After that your car should be able to start.

The reason why I went with this is because I didn't want to take my car to the stealership. Whether I could get it fixed for free or have to pay the $1200 to get it fixed, I read somewhere that this issue is still bound to happen later on the line even after you fixed it.

So to save the headaches, I just deleted my steering lock by pulling the fuse. Problem solved.

Feel free to email me at santosjoel1208@gmail.com if any of yall need like a step by step walk through for this.
