It's released with a solenoid, and if it's stuck, you have to turn the wheel a bit and hit the button again. Same basic procedure as if it had a key. |

Alright you guys quick little update. So it started up normally for awhile and then a few times same issue. I got to try the steering wheel lock, but wasn't the solution. Also tried clutch out then clutch in start, still not the solution. Even gave reentry with out using key less entry still no solution any other suggestions? I notice it happens more offten on hot days, could just be a coincidence.

hahaha its been awhile since ive posted on this, so my car has been starting up pretty well until recently!!! I was stuck twice last week. 2 times just had to pop start the sucka. Brought it to subaru yesterday, and ofcourse they got it to start every damn time!!! took her home got dressed, tried to leave to grab a bite to eat and go figure, she did not fire.
Its kinda silly, but more annoying. Hopefully this gets figured out soon

If the steering lock is actuated by a solenoid, then is the solenoid, energized when locked? (seems this would drain the battery), or is it energized when UNlocked (seems like a safety concern if power to that part of system is lost - blown fuse). I never questioned the other thread where the guy said his steering locked while driving if it could have possibly been the security lock system acting up.... |

Hmm... I don't know off hand as I've never messed with a column from a car without a key. I'd assume that it has some kind of lock mechanism that holds it open until actuated to close again so this failure mode isn't possible. Fairly easy to test, hit the button to turn the car on without starting the engine and if the column is unlocked, disconnect the battery and see if it relocks. I agree it would be a dangerous situation if it is indeed a sprung solenoid that can relock if it loses power. |

I suppose you could make a latching solenoid. To be honest, I'm not even sure that my BRZ HAS a steering lock. Never checked, or noticed... For security systems, there are two kinds of door locks: Fail-safe (if power is lost door is free to open) or fail-secure (if power is lost you cannot open the door). |
