I have been reading about the column lock problems. I just bought a 1999 vert. 23K miles. Seems perfect.
However, I just checked my sterring wheel and it does not seem to be locked at all. Could it have been modified not to lock or is this also a probelm with the column?
The wheel will always turn a little...the lock wont engage until you turn it a fair amount...maybe 10-20 degrees of rotation, so make sure you are turning it enough.
As others have said, if it doesn't lock, there's either a bypass installed or the dealer removed the locking pin. :)
