i noticed that my full ignition lights dont come on the dash.all that is displayed is the red airbag light and the handbrake light.the stereo works,electric windows work.the kiey does click into the key slot .
i cannot select drive,the steering wheel is in the lock position.
i have checked the battery and that is fine.
any help would be great.

This might be a stupid aswell
But try to turn your steering wheel back and forth with a little bit of pressure, and trun the key to full ignition at the same time
