steering wheel keeps going
i know i saw a post on this a little while back, but I just had my battery replaced and was performing the reset procedure and when i was at the part where i had to turn the wheel all the way to the right then all the way to the left the wheel just kept on turning! 
I think i went about 4 full revolutions to the right before i realized it's just not stopping. This isn't normal, any ideas?
thanks.

Hey,
Is your steering wheel "Locked." Did you use the telescopic handle and forget to lock it? Worst comes to worst unplug the batter and replug it back in 15 minutes later (Allows the system to fully reset itself). DO NOT CLOSE THE TRUCK or your car will stay locked. Then you have to jump start it from the front.
If the problem continues bring your car to the mechanic shop. They may have to realign your steering wheel because it could have gotten disengaged.

steering is fine now, but i noticed something else....
problem mysteriously solved itself... i went back to my car after not driving it for 7 hours and tried turning the wheel all the way left then all the way right and it took exactly 2.5 revolutions each time until it stopped. phew!
i will post a new thread for this new problem in just a moment.
thanks again for possible solutions.
