my steering wheel is locked my tires are straight and everything and it refuses to unlock what do i do?
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.
Try moving the steering wheel from side to side.

I found that if you pull the steering wheel all the way to the right, even if the steering wheel is locked, then insert your key, it will turn.
