[cdroggen]

Help I have a 1994 southwind Motorhome and i went out to start it and the switch will not turn at all and the steering wheel is the same will not turn no matter what I do I can not get it to turn does anybody have any ideas of what I can do to get this thing to work. The last time I started it worked fine. but that was two weeks ago.

Thanks For the help.

You may have parked the MH on a incline and its held by your trans locked in park gear. Try to pull steering wheel and see if you can release the lockup and turn key at same time. If you take brake off it may free up by moving coach.

I tryed that and it still does not want to move. I even used the club for leaverage and it would not move. don't want to use to much pressure afraid to break something elese.

Wrll I got it to unlock. Had to get the MH to rocking and push on the left front tire real hard then I could move the steering wheel enough to get it to unlock. so all is well.

Thanks for the help.
