Steering Wheel Lock?

Parkerman

Beat the heck out of the steering wheel... Up and down with it. From what I read it seemed like that was a fix to get it unlocked, but mine isn't locked.

Maybe I should try directly hitting it?

Didn't seem to do anything.

Did notice that now the windows need to be reset... car was outside... Thankfully I was able to push it into the garage... Now the driver side window is stuck down.


*sigh*

It's going to be awesome to pay $500+ for a part.. just so I can pull a fuse to ignore it.

The window reset is b/c you disconnected the battery,but let see if we can save you $500

Yea, I've dealt with the window's before when I was installing my audio stuff. Forgot about it when I disconnected the battery.

It's one of those if I could just get it to ACC... that fuse would be gone.

May just keep trying tapping/hitting/pounding it to see if I can just get it to switch just once.




*edit*
Btw, I really appreciate the help.

If banging on the SLU doesn't work, someone reported that they were able to remove the SLU (DIYs on this site; if you can get the IPDM out to remove the fuse, you can remove the SLU) and manually poke the pin to the retracted position.

See comment above to reset windows. IIRC, you have to do it to both windows.

My dealer quoted me $810 for a SLU this morning while I was getting new hatch springs.

LOL.

Judging by some of the other prices posted on this site, $810 is probably the undiscounted MSRP. Might be a bit cheaper if paying for installation. Still outrageous for something that should be recalled.

I'm not buying one, just checking the price out of curiosity when getting a quote on the ambient temp sensor. $72 for the sensor, but mine just has a broken mounting prong, so I'm going to see how nice of a job I can do with tie-wraps. If it's too ugly, I'll see if I can find one online for cheaper.

Links I checked earlier today have the part at around $550.

I can't believe that I've seen dealers wanting $1400-$1600 to fix it.

Yes. Some ppl have reported that a few light taps work. Others have had to pound the crap out of it. Some never did get it to act right.

Good luck.
