SOURCE: Help

I had similar starting problems with my 99 Tahoe. It turned out to be the anti-theft device was malfunctioning and not recognizing the key so it would turn off the fuel pump and eventually the fuel pump went out too. Since having this replaced ($555.00 with parts and labor at the dealership) I have had no more problems at all with my truck and have actually braved taking it on a 6 hour road trip and had no problems with it leaving me stranded. Since that road trip, I have gone on several more and have full confidence that I will no longer have this be an issue.

SOURCE: Locked Ignition but steering wheel free

Push gear selector up past park and it should loosen up, or press hard on the brake pedal. Shifter up past park usually loosens it up. Common GM problem.

My 1999 land-rover discovery is vibrating at 60-80,had the tyres checked all good, any thoughts ?
Depending on the vibration the speed you mention is when drive shaft vibrations are evident. Check all "U" joints for wear,check slip joints for wear especially the front shaft.Check wheel alignment for castor problems and check the steering shocky ( if fitted)

My steering wheel on my 1999 saturn sl wont move and the key will not turn
Hi!

I thing following happened: when the steering wheel is moved just a little bit with NO key inserted, it will lock itself (that's some common anti-theft measure).
In order to get it unlocked, you have to insert the key and gently push to rotate it while you also gently move the steering wheel left and right untill the lock is released.

I njust noticed my steering wheel in my 2000GMC 1500 is now rotated about 100 degrees when the truck is going straight. My mech. says tie rods and tierod ens are tight and everthing seems normal...he did...
a bad idler arm/pitman arm, You will have a hard time trying to keep the car going straight, it will wander all over the road.
  1. Road walking. When the vehicle wanders back and forth in the direction of travel and it is difficult to keep it straight.
  2. When sitting still, there is considerable play in the steering wheel. It can be moved considerably with no resistance.
  3. When sitting still, and with the front wheels off the ground, it is possible to move the wheels side to side without the steering wheel moving. If there is to much play in the steering wheel or side to side movement of the wheel when the vehicle is stopped could indicate there is a problem with the idler arm.

Your steering wheel is locked in place. You need to put the key into the ignition, then turn the steering wheel more towards the way it is already turned and try turning the key then in the ignition. The steering wheel should move ever so slightly and it should free up the ignition. Let me know how this turns out.

To much play in 1999 dodge Ram 1500 steering wheel, how can I fix
Sounds like worn out steering parts.
Jack up the front end of the truck. Move each front tire side to side and look at the steering linkages.
Normally, when you turn the tire on one side, the tire on the othe side should move at the same time.
It's the best way to find out what steering components are worn out.

Steering won't unlock so that we can start van
If the wheel is turned left or right try turning it in the same direction the wheels are turned, the steering wheel should move a little and should be able to turn the key while holding the wheel. May need to use some muscle to move the wheel depends on how it was parked.

Steering problem
check your power steering belt. it may have broke or slipped off the pulley. if it seems ok check your fluid level. if it is still at normal operating level for hot or cold then your power steering pump may have just seized up and you may have to replace it.
