If you are not familiar with steering columns, not not attempt repair, there are air bag sensors located on the column. If you have some experience, disengage air bags by removing neg. than pos. battery terminals and wait two minute's. If you take off the steering cover, you will notice a 1 1/2 long and thick spring that keep the steering tilt up in any position. it's located on the right of the column about 6 inches down from the ignition key. check to see if spring is missing. this is most likely the case. ask auto store if they have something to install spring.

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.

not sure but check the left side of the tranny and there maybe a cable hooked to the shift arm that goes to the steering column that locks the key in the on posistion !!!! if so unhook it from the trans. and push the arm up on the column hopefuly that will solve it !!!!!!!!!!!

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.
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).
