MrMiata, I don't know that it matters, but if I recall correctly, I think I did get the wheel close to center (after the lock to lock) and turned the car off and restarted it, it may take a few miles to kick in, but I think it should be immediate.

If you still have lights on, it could be any number of things and if it is an ABS light, I would not wait too long to get it checked in case it is something serious. I had to pay the dealer $100 to put the diagnostic system on my car for about 1.5 minutes for them to tell me which wheel speed sensor was out, ~$60 part, 15 minute fix, but still cost me an extra C-note because of the damn stealership....

Edit: is your spoiler stuck in the raised position when the lights are on?
