Hi new Just to say got the no power to dash when putting in Key fob, and steering lock on.
Did following as per information on this site.
1 Disconnected battery pos and neg for 1 hour
2 Checked all fuses relays
3 Tried spare key fob
The following led to no change still no power and steering lock on
4 Removed steering column cover
5 Hit steering lock with small hammer had to use a ½ drive socket extent ion bar
Still no change so started again but this time after taking off battery pas and neg I rubbed both theses lead together metal end lugs

Put in key fob steering lock release and power now starts is it worth getting L/R dealer to check before this happens again. Tom

Happens to mine from time to time. Turning the steering wheel seems to do the trick. 2005 D3 2.7 Auto
