Why is the steering wheel locked on a 97 Buick Skylark?

The steering wheel on a 1997 Buick Skylark may be locked due to the ignition system's anti-theft feature, which engages when the key is removed or if the steering wheel is turned without the key in the ignition. This locking mechanism is designed to prevent theft and ensure that the vehicle cannot be steered without the proper key. To unlock it, gently turn the steering wheel left or right while inserting and turning the ignition key. If the issue persists, there may be other underlying mechanical problems that need to be addressed.
