Steering Wheel Lock?

And, just to add to the list...

I unhooked the battery to let the ECU reset... Still nothing.

Did you actually try hitting the SL while tying to start the car?

The SLU can fail in a partially retracted state leaving the wheel unlocked but disabling start.
The pin can retract all the way, but not make the microswitches properly. Once again, wheel is unlocked but car won't start.

Edit: Since you disconnected the battery:
You may need to reset the auto window function. IIRC, roll window down and hold switch for at least three seconds, then roll window up and hold switch for at least three seconds.
You'll probably have to reprogram the stations on your radio.
The engine may run rough until the ECM goes through a re-learning sequence.
