Are the 13 still having this issue?

It has only been happening in cold correct or has it been going on in summer as well?

One of the first things I did was pull my fuse! Not worth the hassle.

I have a 2009 and have no idea on the version, I have to check the build date of my car.

1st thing i'm going to do before I pay for the new one is bang it with a rubber mallet and see if I can get it to work ( wish me luck ).

If that doesn't work, i'll have to install the new one and pull the fuse......should have done it before storage

370z's after 2011 don't have the locking fuse included, so nothing to go bad.

You have first one (revision a) revision a and b (ehat i have) are basically guaranteed to fail. C is hit or miss. D is only a couple known failures.
