Why did IGNITION LOCK UP?
Was recently given this 2006 Cadillac SRX by elderly relative who can no
longer drive. Has literally been parked in condo garage for 8 years, has only
37K miles. Still trying to learn how things work, but it has been a dream to
drive. Today, not so much. I came out of store, unlocked car with remote,
opened liftgate, loaded my groceries into back. Closed liftgate, slipped into
the driver seat, put key into ignition and turned it. Lights all came on for a
second, then went dark. Engine didn't start, and I could not remove the key
from ignition. Looked around for operator's manual but had left it at home,
along with my cell phone. So I couldn't leave the car, and could neither start
it nor phone for help. What happened?
