HAD CUSTOM RIMS AND NEW STEREO INSTALLED. THE CAR WOULD NOT START I UNHOOKED THE BATTERY FOR 20 MINUTES & WIGGLED THE KEY AND IT STARTED GOT IT HOME PARKED IN MY SLANTED DRIVEWAY. locked again! (steering wheel moves) un pluged the (posative connection) battery, waited....not budging(stuck in off positions) please....i cant afford to take it to the dealership now

wondering if there was a way to reset the theft protection feature like maybe pulling a fuse or some specific procedure. and does anyone know of a hammer trick? i read something where someone recommended hiting the key with a hammer while in was in the ignition? Sound freaky but my windows are down
