My 91 Dodge Shadow locked up on me while my friend and I was trying to get it unstuck from backing up onto a snow pile. I put it in neutral and we pushed it off the snow pile. When I got back in my car to try and start it, I couldn't turn the key nor the wheel. Now my car is sitting in the middle of the road with no way of moving it and other cars can barely get through. Please help me out. How do I get my key to turn and wheel unlocked?

You're going to have to jostle that wheel pretty roughly from my experience...

If it's an Automatic Make sure you are truly in park or neutral before removing the key.

If it's a manual you might have to rack the release button harder then usual. My 90 can get finicky in the cold sometimes.

i would advise you make your own as this is an obsolete vehicle by now as its 20 yrs old and most manufacturers only keep spares for vehicles up to 10 yrs ,could you not try a scrap yard for a piece they would no doubt give you the spacer bush if you bought some other things

My wife got stuck in snow with her 2002 alero and couldn't get unstuck. I pulled it out with my truck with her vehicle in neutral. now it leaks transmission fluid. It must have been from when she was...

It probably had been leaking or something damaged the pan. You will need to look for the leak location. pulling a car out will NOT cause a leak.

I had to run a wire from my starter because it stop starting with the key for some reason plus my back up lights are not working. It's a 91 dodge shadow

Well ya know it ain't the starter or the battery!
Now you have to check out the starter relay, ignition switch and neutral safety switch.
Back up switch must be defective or open in circuit.
It could also be the bulbs
Best thing to do is to get the shop manual and check out the items I listed. I could tell you how but the explainations are lenghty and its easier when a booh is in front of you. There is no brain surgery involved here a digital voltmeter and the shop manual should do the trick

SUZUKI ESCUDO N 4H 4H LOCK 4 L LOCK

I will assume you have the same thing as in a Suzuki Grand Vitara :
N : Neutral : use this when you tow your vehicle.
4H : Use it in normal road conditions, highway, etc.
4H Lock : Use it on offroad, snow, sand, ... etc
4L Lock : Use when you are stuck on snow or sand, BE CAREFUL, this mode is only for difficult situations, do not exceed 25 MPH, and do not use it in normal conditions.
Hope this help.
