once you have gotten the fuse box out as far as you can you have to take the cover off, to take the cover off reach both hands to the bottom of the box feel for two big clips unclip them and take the cover off it will look like this on the inside…

5) The fuse is 10A on the lid of the box it will say 10A Steering wheel lock (DO NOT TAKE THE FUSE OUT YET)

6) Now go to the steering wheel with a rubber mallet or I took a screw driver and get under the steering wheel you are looking for the steering wheel lock it which looks like this

watch this video if you need help on locating it 2009 Nissan Won't Start - Steering Lock Failure - YouTube

7) Now that you have found it hit it three times not to hard with the rubber mallet or the handle part of the screwdriver and push the start button continue to do this till the car unseizes and goes in to acc mode. When you hit it you might see a small spark, that is okay don’t freak.

8)Once the car is in acc mode take out the fuse 10A (might need some pliers to take it out or tweezers) and put it all back then get in the car and start and your done!
