I was changing around some car audio in this car and i let the car battery run low. I guess it went too low and the car started acting all funny, now when I put the key in the steering wheel won't unlock and it won't let me start the car.

Thinking that it may have something to do with my stereo, i took out everything I added in and tried to boost the car - no luck, still won't turn on and gives me a yellow steering wheel lock jammed error.

online ive read different solutions/issues with the car, some say that it needs to be reprogrammed/software updated while others say that the whole steering column may need to be replaced .

Is there an easy way to clear the error code and "reset" the software to get the error to go away? I really want to say it just has to do with the low battery since there's no other abnormal issues before it happened. do i have to get the car towed somewhere that can help me? is there anything I can do myself?

thanks any help in advance.
