Given that everything was fine this morning, it's highly unlikely that it's a starter. The battery 'could' give you an issue, if it is more than 2 years old, replace it. Most of the 'old-timers' know this, but some of the 'newbies' might not, a battery that will not start the car, will have enough juice to light lights. Just because lights turn on, doesn't mean the battery is good. Hence the "Replace battery every two years regardless of warranty"...
Thanks Ghost, yeah im leaning twords Steering lock again now. Hit the thing with my feet...hit it with a hammer, Both no results tho.

I checked the cabin fuses, Electrical, and start button. They look good. Pretty sure none of the other ones mattered.

I made a video, ill post it when I get home.

Also Isnt the Lock covered under a Recall now?
