- Faulty Ignition Switch: The ignition switch is responsible for sending power to the starter and unlocking the steering wheel. If the ignition switch is faulty or damaged, it can prevent the steering wheel from unlocking and the engine from starting.
- Broken Steering Lock Mechanism: The steering lock mechanism is a security feature that prevents the steering wheel from being turned when the vehicle is off. If the steering lock mechanism is broken or damaged, it can also prevent the steering wheel from unlocking.
- Low Battery: If the vehicle's battery is low, it may not have enough power to unlock the steering wheel and start the engine. Make sure the battery is fully charged and try again.
- Wiring Issues: Electrical issues, such as loose or damaged wiring, can prevent the ignition switch from sending power to the starter and unlocking the steering wheel. Check the wiring around the ignition switch and starter for any damage or loose connections.
- Faulty Starter: If the starter is faulty or damaged, it can prevent the engine from starting. Check the starter and make sure it is in good condition and properly connected.
