the wiring on top of the steering column is real tight.when you move the tilt to a lower position it pull the left turn signal wire out of the connector on top of the column.just remove the three screws that hold on the cover around the column,then take a look at the blue striped wire as you move the tilt it will be coming disconnected as you move the tilt.just pull the wire out about 1/4 of an inch in order to give it a little more slack then reconnect it and apply a little sealant around the connector where that wire goes in.problem solved.

What makes the steering wheel lock on a 2003 Hyundai and how do you unlock it?

Steering wheels are generally locked from the ignition switch. It is supposed to lock only in the OFF position. If you steering locks in any other key position, you likely have a problem with the linkage rod or cable that connects the ignition lock cylinder to the steering column. You have to take apart the dash and possibly the steering column to fix this.

You will need to have the codes checked for your steering system but most of the time the problem is a bad steering position sensor which is located at the bottom of the steering column on the inside of the car. I have seen defective YAW Rate sensors cause this problem but very very rare.
