How can I start my 2006 vw passt? Just got out of shop they fixed steering column was locked worked for a week. Now when I put the key in all lights and radio come on but car doesn't turn over. It's like the battery is dead

This indicator light is used to display the working status of the automatic overspeed gear. When the indicator light is on, it means that the O/D gear is locked. At this time, the acceleration capacity is improved, but the fuel consumption increases.
If the indicator light is not on, the possible fault points include: gateway damage, ELV electronic steering lock damage, key damage, comfort CAN line failure, drive CAN line failure, anti-theft function failure, steering column control unit failure, instrument control unit failure, and There may be strong signal interference from the outside world. You need to go to a professional repair shop to repair your toyota highlander or buy a new car, such as toyota calya.

Solenoid at the steering column. Could be wiring. Usually a hole at the bottom of the column bezel. you can insert a small screw diver to release it.

You are incorrect! It is possible for you to see lights and the battery not charged enough to start! Please stop opening new posts for the same problem or we will get confused as to what you want to help you!

Check the battery connections!

Have you been driving the car since the steering repair! And what happens when you try to start the car? Does it turn over, does it make a clicking sound, does the lights dim and no turning over?

Turn your steering wheel left or right side. If it moves, then good for you. But if doesn't, it probably means that locking system in the steering wheel is damaged. For this, you can just turn the steering wheel opposite to the direction of the car wheels. Most of the time, cars are turned off with the wheels turned on the opposite directions, which makes the key get stuck in the ignition due to pressure in the steering wheel. When the pressure is released from the steering column, a click can be heard and key is released.

If no luck, there might be a problem with shifter mechanism, which means that you have a trip to the repair shop in store for you. Get this problem addressed immediately, as it could mean that your shift interlock is out of order, which can increase the chances of deploying the air bag up in your face, causing a serious injury.

Try turning the wheel slightly and turning the key, this will relieve pressure off the steering lock mechanism. If that doesn't work, try tapping the key. That is a common problem on 99-05 Caravans

I had to take my car back to the dealership twice. First, they replaced the ignition switch. 3 days later, my car wouldn't start again. So I took it back and they called VW - VW said to replace the steering column module. I asked my dealer why they didn't replace the steering colum module first - they said that even if they had replaced that first, the old ignition switch would have shorted out the steering column module. Whatever.
$600 later my car has been fine for about 3 weeks now. If it happens again I will keep you posted.
Good luck!

Have you tried rocking the steering wheel from left to right as you turn the key?

I cant get the key out or lock steering column and the automatic transmission shift lever locks up in park.
Now if I take the battery off every thing works fine.
This sure seems like a reset problem.I run the car by not having it in the locked column position and get the shifter to work by putting a key in the hole furnished
by chevy to bypass shift lock. thank you
