So my steering lock seized up on my 07 Optima, its just over the 60,000 mark.
1. The steering wheel was not locked and when it was locked the key would turn about 2cm to a position to unlock the steering lock but never turn anywhere near acc or on.
2. with the key inserted it would door chime if the door was open it just wouldn't turn.
3. there is a red and green wire that connects to the top of the steering lock/tumbler system, that I had cut this may have shorted but I am unsure after those were cut the interior lights, door chime, and the key chain thing that opens the trunk and doors do not work. Is there a fuse relay for this? none of the fuses under the fuse panel seemed to be blown.
4. I need to remove the steering lock/tumbler part there so that when the new one comes in I can just pop the new one in but I have had no luck thus far has anyone replaced theirs on a 06.5+ optima?
P.S. I basically deliver pizza for a living and have now lost 2 days 3 after tonight of work, The part I got is $155 so I am trying to do this with saving as much money as possible I have less than 400 to spend on the entire thing.
