There is a safety switch that keeps you from accidentally shifting from park. You're supposed to press the brake pedal to release the Park Lock. If the brake pedal sensor switch is adjusted wrong it won't release the park lock. If the connectors to the release are faulty or disconnected, the park lock won't release. You may have accidentally knocked a wire loose when you replaced the motor mounts.

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.

What does the red steering wheel indicate on the ml320?
The red steering wheel in the instrument cluster means that the steering wheel is not locked into position. There should be a black lever on the left or right side of the steering column. This is the lever to release when you want to adjust the steering wheel up or down. Push the lever back up to lock into place and the indicator should go out. If it is still on when the steering wheel is locked, then that could be a electrical fault with the sensor.

I don't know. However, generally speaking when a steering column is wrecked by theft damage as you indicate, the least expensive course is to have an experienced technician install a used steering column from a salvage vehicle. Try to ensure the used column is from a salvage vehicle that has not been wrecked through front end collision.

How do you remove steering lock on fintail?
I believe that on the fintails all you have to do is remove 2 bolts and a nut (it appears to be attached at the dashboard and not the steering column). I don't think you even need the key! The later cars have an anti-theft pin that keeps the switch locked to the steering column unless you have the key in and turned to position 1. You DO need the key to remove the lock cylinder(unless you drill it out).
