Steering Lock: cut one wire. /switch optional

pwrhsms · 05-11-2012, 10:49 AM

I'm with Fritz. take the power away from a switch and it can't move. As long as you maintain the continuity on all the signal wires, which we seem to not be messing with, then it shouldn't be able to flag any faults.

When my car gets off the boat I will be testing this out.

I just have to comment positively about this site. Back in the early 80's I was a member of an RX-7 club. Once a month I'd get a newsletter with photos and Q&A's and owners tips, etc. Then, the internet came along and changed everything. Suddenly there are thousands of members from all over the world for just about any user group one can imagine and the collective knowledge is incredible. 370Z owners have an issue that has caused great inconvenience to many, and for those who were out of warranty or decided to take a preemptive strike against the lock failure, spent $500 for a replacement part.
Thanks to the diligent work of some smart and talented members, it looks like we will have a solution to this soon and at a low or no cost depending upon one's comfort level. I just cannot imagine this happening back in the "old days" that some of us more "seasoned" members lived through. Good work guys !
