Suzuki Kizashi won't start due to steering wheel lock, resolved by disconnecting door light button on Suzuki Kizashi

Some Suzuki Kizashi owners report experiencing starting issues related to the steering wheel lock, which can be frustrating. One common solution involves disconnecting the door light button by pressing the rubber button on the door frame, tricking the car into thinking the door is closed and preventing the wheel lock from engaging. Additionally, some owners have found success by reprogramming the power door locks, which involves cycling the key in the ignition and pressing the driver's door lock switch. Another method reported is cycling the start button with the driver door open, which can help keep the steering lock mechanism engaged during attempts to start the vehicle. These practical solutions may help resolve the starting issue without the need for complex repairs.
