Here's the scenario with my Lariat Powerboost FX4.
-22 this morning, engine block heater all night, remote started the truck fine and engine and cab was warm when I was ready to leave (as a bonus the door didn't freeze so was able to actually get in without climbing over the console for a change). Put truck in gear and started to reverse but the steering wheel won't turn in either direction. Doh.
Just feels like the steering mechanism is frozen in place. Any ideas?

- I had backed up a bit so wheels weren't frozen to ground or blocked by snow
- Parking brake wasn't on and doesn't feel like when steering wheel locks (slight turn and then feel hard stop)
- Won't turn at all so it is not like driving without power steering
- Was -15 yesterday and steering worked fine (door was frozen shut but that's an entirely different issue)
Just feels like the steering mechanism is frozen in place. Any ideas?
