To fix a transit steering lock, start by ensuring that the steering wheel is not turned while the ignition is off, as this can engage the lock. If the steering lock is still activated, try turning the steering wheel slightly left or right while simultaneously turning the ignition key to the "on" position. If the problem persists, check the ignition cylinder for any signs of wear or damage, and consider consulting a professional mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.

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.
To disassemble the steering lock on a Daewoo Matiz, first, disconnect the vehicle's battery to prevent any electrical issues. Remove the steering wheel by detaching the securing nut and using a steering wheel puller if necessary. Next, carefully remove any screws or clips securing the steering lock assembly to the steering column. Once removed, you can access the lock spindle for repair or replacement.
Don't know...but there are problems with the ignition lock tumblers wearing. Quick fix for a stuck key is to tap the lock while trying to turn the key. This will allow tumblers to fall into place so the key will turn. This fix will get you home, but not fix the problem. To fix permanently, disconnect power to car, remove dash trim below the steering wheel and remove enough screws to lift upper dash around steering wheel to expose key lock. Turn key to on position and depress tab in lock cylinder collar and pull lock cylinder and key out of car. Take lock cylinder to locksmith for new tumblers ( it cost me $12). Replace lock cylinder and put dash back together.
