I got into my S2K this morning and put the key in the ignition and it wouldnt turn. For a half of an hour I tried everything. I tired all my 3 keys - nothing. I tried putting it in gear, putting it in netruel, clutch in, clutch out. I even looked in the key hole to see if anything was stuck in there.

Finally, on the suggestion of my younger sister (how embarassing) I jiggled my steering wheel around a bit and it finally turned.

How did this happen? Is this a normal problem? Did anyone else ever experienced this?

 

Its normal.

Just the steering wheel lock. Usually happens when you try to turn the wheel after the car is off, or when you pull into a space with the wheel all the way turned.

 

It's normal - all my cars behave that way...

 

OK cool!
thanx for replying

 

Hey, your sister wouldn't happen to be Laetitia Casta would she?

 

It's normal. My Prelude does this more than the S2K. The steering wheel locks all the time in the Prelude. Of course, one time I mistakenly put the S2K key into the Prelude and jiggled the hell out of the steering wheel.

 

MarkS2k,

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... I find that EXTREMELY funny.. hehehe.

Anyway, yeah, just to add... it's the same with my BMW 325i.
