oh, i see you are stuck in a garage and new to the problem of the steering lock. I HIGHLY recommend reading this thread from first page you will soon totally understand the problem and the fix.
again... good luck. you might get lucky on it coming loose with the banging. Just make sure you pull the fuse after your column is unlocked and **before** you shut off your car and it sticks/locks again.

yep no good. Sorry friend. I was very fortunate to stumble on this info and pull my fuse before I got stranded, but I've read stories from a bunch of guys who tap-tapped there way out of a trip to the dealer so I know it can be done. use something small and hard like a screwdriver. tap firmly but don't dent in the casing.

Going though the 30 some pages I am sure I missed this but just to confirm if you look under your steering wheel and have Rev A, Rev B, Rev C you should pull the fuse? anything else you should be fine (Rev D, Rev E)?

I thought I did it wrong at first because it still felt locked. But then I realized I had no power steering when off XD. Wheels turned just fine. Thanks
Except I dropped a fastener somewhere in the engine bay Trying to find it still... Last edited by Benadrylz; 01-06-2013 at 03:01 PM. |

Just did it on mine didn't even look to see what ver I was didn't care just wanted it fixed lol.
But I'm not gonna lie I loved hearing the lock engage and disengage. Gonna miss it but not as much as being stuck some where. Thanks guys for finding hopefully the best and only fix. CHEERS!!!

5 minutes to pull the fuse, 30 to fish out my screwdriver from the murky depths of the engine bay.
