According to the wiring diagrams, there is a signal that comes from the line between the fuse and the SLU and goes to the BCM (or was it ECM?). As far as I know, no one has been able to ascertain the function of this signal, but it doesn't appear to be important. Many ppl, myself included, have removed the fuse with no problems.

Unless Nissan has redesigned the SLU, I am assuming that the replacements will fail soon and I will remove the fuse (will put it back in before going to dealer) after the SLU is replaced. If it turns out to be a new-and-improved SLU, the next owner can re-activate the damn thing, if they want to.
