JKU 2013 automatic transmission with Factory installed remote starter.
For some reason i had to turn the steering wheel fully in one direction and switch off the Jeep. Now my Steering wheel has locked and wont budge at all. And the ignition key wont turn and wont even go to the first detent. Ive tried shaking the steering wheel and trying to start but it wont start. The dash lights up as normal. The Interior lights also light up. Battery is one week old. I even tried doing the battery reset by disconnecting the -ve terminal for 5 minutes and then trying everything again. But the Jeep just wont start. Ive tried with 3 different keys. Gear is in Park. Unable to change the gear too-which i think is normal.
What could be wrong?


regards
Simon

Usually turning your wheel in one direction while trying to turn the key unlocks it. I would keep trying

Happens to me ever once in a while. Have some one shake the jeep and you shake the steering wheel and turn the key.
