CAR WON'T START - KEYLESS GO
hi
thought i would share.
i was changing out the park lights on the front bumper and needed to start the car and turn steering full lock to get to the inside of the wheel well.
switched car off and when i wanted to restart i could only hear faint click in the dash when i attempted key less go start.
i then tried to put key in ignition....key would go in but would not turn.
i eventually got it started by really pulling hard on the steering wheel while attempting to turn the key.....
seems like steering in full lock position and then switching of the car caused the problem![Confused](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif)
anyone else have this happen?

Sounds like the steering wheel lock was preloaded before shutting off. The tension (force) of the steering prevented the release of the steering wheel lock until the tension was released. ![drive](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/driving.gif)
Not a big deal it happens sometimes, you were smart enough to know what to do.
