DIY: Steering Wheel Lock Failure FIX!

Stoopid · 05-13-2016, 11:51 PM

Thanks!! I got mine to run. 2010 20,000 KM #48700-JF00C sitting on the garage over the winter and been starting it every 2-3 weeks. One day it just wouldn't start. I found this post and I tried hitting the box with a rubber mallet several times but it would not work. I called Nissan dealership and Nissan Canada but told me that I have to pay around $1100 to get it fixed. I got the towing company setup and was ready to pay the amount. I tried it one last time but this time I tried hitting the box with a tire iron pretty hard and it started running!

Now my car has been running for the past week. I haven't removed the fuse. Should I still put it on ACC and remove the fuse?

I have also been thinking of writing a letter to Nissan Canada with some links here and try to get mine replaced to Rev D. Another user posted what he wrote to Nissan and got $500 back.
