Default Possible Short Term Fix to Get You Home if it happens to you!

Ok, so I got out of the gym this eve, the dreaded little "Key" light came on, car would not start, tried putting the fob into the slot, nothing, had someone come get me to get my second key (was not confident that was going to work because I looked at the forum on my phone while waiting). I got my second key and went back to the car, same problem! Learning from the forum that the problem was a solenoid in the locking mechanism, I ADJUSTED THE STEERING COLUMN UP AND DOWN RATHER VIOLENTLY. THE CAR STARTED. AT LEAST I WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME AND SAVE TOWING. THE CAR SUBSEQUENTLY STARTED. I thought this might help anyone who is in the same boat.
