Hi, if there is a problem with the cable under your seat , which is a very common problem basically your service light will come on ( to tell you to take it to a garage) this cable is something to do with your airbag so be careful. the steering lock will not function as a safety step. this was what i was told by a mechanic. it happened to me, and occasionaly it still does when i move the seat after my wife has driven the car. when it does happen i reach under the seat and give the wire a random wiggle, it works i think it is a common fault that the connection isn't very good and works loose. hope that helps you??
