Jason, A BIG THANK YOU! Had to move my 05 Tahoe before they towed it. Followed this video step by step and got it to move. While at work someone tried to steal my car. Locked my ignition cylinder so my key won't even switch over cuz the antitheft lock activated. Got to work on that next. It's pretty banged up and going to be a bitch to replace cuz they jammed it. Hope that dirtbag gets what he deserves soon KEEP ON JASON, THANKS AGAIN MAN
I'm legit. Bought a city impounded vehicle. Came without keys. Appreciate the help. We loaded with a payloader but now I'm trying to get off the trailer.
Without the key turned in the cylinder isn't the steering wheel still locked? I can see being able to move forward and back but I don't think you could turn it.
This video really helped thanks a lot had a 1997 gmc safari dead battery locked shifter just had to move so it can make an easy tow….. thanks again and still didn’t have the right tools smh
Thank you very much my 97GMC pickup Truck l am the owner am trying to work on it myself l don't know what am doing l know that I will succeed l am Determined .
@merchadvantage1712 on your 87, it's a bar mechanical linkage. If you open the hood and look down at the bottom of the steering column you'll be able to see a little arm with a piece of round bar through it that leads down toward the transmission, pull the cotter pin out of the bar and then you can shift the transmission from the engine compartment.
Did you watch the whole video? You don't need the key, just disconnect the shift cable from the bottom of the shift arm in the steering column. You can watch my other video on how to start the engine without a key and you're all set.
I call bullshit. When you put your key in the ignition and turn it you unlock the steering wheel. Sometimes when you have the wheel turmed you have to turn the wheel to release the pressure to be able to turn the key. If that wasn't the case you would've done it woth out the key and show us the steering wheel turning freely. But the morality speech is a cute way to explain away you needing to use the key. After all ita only 3 paper clips whats so labor intensive that you can't do it and show your work sir?
Yeahhh, except there is no steering wheel lock in the 99 to 06 chevy and gmc trucks and suv's. Like I mentioned also, I made a separate video on how to bypass the relays using paper clips. Thanks for commenting!
