Car stuck in drive wont let me turn it off so i took the batter cable off

will not turn on not even lights ? What lights ? headlamps - instrument cluster telltale lights ? What happens when you turn the key to start ? nothing - no clicking noise etc... Voltage drop testing of the battery cables an connections should be done if nothing works an battery is good . No power getting to fuse/relay power distribution box .

Batter's good if lights work. No clicking usually means the starter is bad. Unfortunately, it's a push it or two it to the mechanic.

turn the steering wheel left and right while tring to turn the key

Probably a starter. It sounds like the starter solenoid is working, but the starter motor is not energizing.

You could try this simple trick, but Im about 85% sure you have a bad starter.

Have a buddy help you push the vehicle in neutral for a short distance. When you get it moving at a walking pace, put the transmission in Drive, and let the vehicle come to a stop. You may hear a little clicking, but thats OK, it wont hurt anything. Put the transmission back in Park and try to start the engine again. Sometimes the starter gear gets stuck on the flywheel and it wont engage when you try to start the engine. This trick may move the flywheel a little so the starter can engage.

Check the batter terminals clean them. Check all fuses, Check the cable going to the starter, clean all connections to the starter.If it still doesn't work jump the starter with a jumper wire to the + side of the battery.

disconnect the ground cable only on the batter for two minutes, be sure the key is not in the ignition, reconnect cable, turn key to on, then turn off. remove the key, reinsert it and crank the car .

Might be something in your gas tank that gets stuck, I've heard of people putting whiffle balls in peoples gas tanks and that happens.

i found the problem it was the acuator on the side of transfer case so i took it off and manualy put it in 2 wheel drive now all i have to do is get under there and turn it with a tire iron thanks but got it under control......

Boost your car with jumper cables and let the car idle or drive around for about 20 minutes for the alternather charge the batter on its own .if the car shuts off after you started it might be your alternather is no good . the reason why ur alternather might not be working is because the batter all it does is give enough power for the starter to crank the engine as soon as the engine starts running it gets all its juice from the alternather and it charges the batter as well. but some times when the alternather works and the batter is dead meaning all the cells inside the batter are dead it will never take the charge from the alternather. so you would have to change the batter.

if you would like to know how you can you test both parts useing a volt-a-meter... just ask...

p.s. I think its ur batter if you never changed it. so get that changed for the winter so you wont have any more starting problems during cold wheaters

loosen the lug nuts and drive it in a circle slowly until the wheel loosens (one at a time). only loosen the nuts about 2 turns-no more. i had to do this at the dealer for years. put that axle nut back on before driving the truck.
good luck
