Steering Wheel Not Locking

First of all..its real cold here -5-10 ish.... I pulled into my buddys shop amd put it in park, shut it off, and went to jump out and i heard the leave the keys in bell goin off...But i had the keys in my hand. Checked the headlights, they were off. I started it up turned the wheel and stuff, then shut it off. The bell warning bell stopped, but i noticed the steering wheel is now free turning even in park. The gear shifter is locking, but my steering wheel doesnt. Any idee-er's?

hi
on my 98 you have to turn the wheel 180* for it to lock as i think there is only 1 notch where it locks , wheel upsidedown ?

Sounds like you got cold weather issues. Oldblues is right in that only a few places where wheel actually locks.

Thats the way mine locks. Thought maybe something was wrong. But it sounds like that is the norm.
