So I was going to go get some chipotle for my day off.
When I turned the car on to turn the motor, the motor ran flawlessly but NON of the electrical bits were responding. The tach was not moving, the steering wheel was locked, the gear shifter would not move, the lights on the time and radio did not display and the annoying beep of door open would happen continuously when the door was open. My main concern is that if this happens while I'm commuting, everything locks up but the engine is still on (THINK GM IGNITION SWITCHES AND HOW THEY KILLED 100 PEOPLE ALREADY). As some gentle persuasion with my fists, I eventually hit the magic mark and all the electrical bits came back to life. But as I said, if this happened while I was driving... I mean nah that's not how I'm going to die, not this guy. What was this? How can I prevent this? What is my best option here? -------------------- Brand new 6gc owner! (sort of 2011)

That or something in the steering and shift lock mechanism is wonky... Though could be the lock barrel is entirely worn out. I'd look into removing the steering wheel column covers and inspecting things.
