Sometimes the steering wheel on my 1998 Disco 1 wont unlock and the ignition key will not turn! the ONLY thing that resolves this is if I disconnect the battery for a few seconds and then everything magically unlocks n key turns normally..
Any idea guys? expensive fix?
Thanks

 

try turning your wheel side to side as you turn the key. The steering wheel lock could be in a bind keeping the key from turning.

 

Mine used to do this , it thinks you are not in park, there is a plug on the right side of the tumbler to disable this feature iirc

 

Is this he only solution? to unplug the white plug and leave it unplugged?
is it safe?

 

yes it is safe mine has not been plugged in for years

 

yes...un plug it....it's there so that you cant "inadvertently" remove the ignition key while driving....you know you've been dieing just to try that...

 

I dont want mess anything up..can u guys tell me step by step how to unplug what?
Thanks

 

Unscre lower column cover remove top cover, unplug out near key hole, one plus for the light ones the lockout

 

Is this, white big one the correct plug? how do I unplug it?
Do I need to unplug the little one with the two purple wires too?
Thanks
