locked steering wheels

Post by Miss Volvo 2001 »

Did anyone had this problem before? Yesterday, I came back to my S60, 2001 and everything was locked. Could not turn the key in the ignition, neither the steering. Had the feeling the anti-theft system was locked. Is there a code or something to unlock this or can it be another type of problem?
Thanks

sounds like you have some pressure to the steering wheel..are the front wheels up against a curb or other object? try putting the key into the ignition switch....if you cant turn the key try turning the steering wheel hard to one side while trying to turn the key.. if it does not work then turn the wheel the other way while trying the key..you may have to turn the wheel pretty hard to free it if the front tires are putting force against the lock . good luck
