I have a Honda Civic '94... and installed in it is a remote car start system. By accident I turned the wheel without unlocking the ignition with the key... and the steering wheel is now locked. Additionally, if I put the key into the ignition, it does not turn at all. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

put the key in the ignition, and jiggle the steering wheel while trying to turn the key GENTLY to unlock the column. This happens to me from time to time, if that doesnt work then something serious might be wrong.

 

Thanks bro, I turned the car on again with the remote starter, and I put the key in the ignition... and i got that beep from the car that acknowledges a key in the ignition. That somehow unlocked the wheel and I did what you told me to and thank goodness the key was able to turn to deactivate the remote starter. Thanks a lot, once again... it's not mine yet, since I'm not 17 yet... but I think my dad woulda been pissed to come home and find the wheel locked.
