The break should be able to move even without the car running what happens to the break on the turn of key before starting.
As far as I know in an automatic it would be slightly firmer before the key has been turned and when it has been you have to press down before moving the gear selector to Park drive neutral or reverse.
The steering wheel lock must be unlocked otherwise the key will not turn.
Is that an issue?
Trying to visualise what the gear selector is set to and the steering lock.
I'm thinking it's stuck in a gear such as D = Drive. The steering wheel lock is enabled.
Or is it stuck in P = Park?
If this is the case the car may not allow you to start the car because the gear is engaged.
I'm asking the question because if the break pedal cannot be depressed, the gear selector will be stuck on the position its set to.
