    Got a problem, so I got the new truck all set up and wired , but before I tapped into the fuse to bypass the steering lock, I wanted to be sure how quick it locked. I can’t get it to lock.

    I had the front wheels in the air and tried everything (locking car, opening door, unlocking, let it sit for 1 hour) by the steering wheel doesn’t lock.

    Anyone has any experience on how to be sure the steering wheel locks?

    it’s a 2024, I have a feeling I’m one of the first ones trying this, but looking forward to hear 3rd gens.
