Does your steering wheel lock?

rwood411 · 10-24-2006, 09:23 AM

Ive just noticed after months of driving that my steering wheel doesnt lock when parked. Ive never had a car where the wheel doesnt lock after the ignition is turned off. Im just too lazy to read the manual right now, is this normal for the Sky?

try turning the wheel back and forth, still no lock?

coopcj7 · 10-24-2006, 01:15 PM

mine doesn't lock either but in a certain position i can't turn my ignition key

I can turn the wheel a full half turn and no lock. Im just wondering if I should bring it back to the dealer or if this is normal.

Last night after I parked I tried -- I turned 1/2 turn in either direction - no lock...

Mine locks with 1/4 turn to the right (only). Don't forget to take your key out of the ignition switch first.

Mine locks, maybe you should take it in to be checked out.

Never thought about it. Now I have to check.

Mine locks. Turned it about half way to the right and "click"

I accidently hit mine with my knee getting out the other day and it locked right away.

GaryH · 10-25-2006, 06:37 PM

Checked mine. I have to turn the wheel 3/4 turn to the left or 1/4 turn to the right before it locks.

Mine locks after about a 1/4 turn in either direction when the key is out of the ignition.

My VERY new Sky requires 1/4 turn before lock as well.

This AM - before I started my SKY I tried again. Yes -- it does lock. Takes almost 1/2 turn of the wheel, but it does lock. I had my hand at the 12 o'clock position it was in the 7 o'clock (turned left) when it clicked in
