Those of you who have had Steering Lock Failure

SouthArk370Z · 11-28-2012, 09:17 AM

I haven't been able to find the complete text of NTB12-041, but it appears to be about a BCM firmware problem and has nothing to do with the steering lock.

now I am disappointed I was hoping to go on my comp today finally to look at the TSB but seeing all the OP's posts I don't even think I need to now.......

Horray! Just got back from my buddy, the corner mechanic's, garage. He removed my steering lock fuse in 12 minutes flat and did so gratuitously---also too busy to let me take him to Applebee's for lunch! My dealership was making such a big (translates expensive) deal out this---saying an hour shop time with a lot of disassembly involved. I stood and watched my firend do it---nothing to it, just as stated on this forum. Thank goodness for this forum!

this forum is awesome and can help owners out in so many ways! Glad you got it taken care of before the problem happened.

I too am glad to hear about preemptive solutions. Good job.

I do sort of feel this subject is like talking about the Nigerian scam, only to have people look at you as this is news to them.

I know I feel bad especially when you know how easy any one of the three fixes are to do! I am so happy I have had mine fixed now for this whole past driving season for me

get in and I have no worries about not being able to

away

I got REV E!!! The dealer billed Nissan $470 or something for that part

LMBmikeZ · 11-28-2012, 08:03 PM

Nice

Always better having some one else get the bill instead of you to!

I just installed my little bypass kit, after sitting on it for 2 months for no good reason. Took all of 3 minutes to put it in. I'm gonna miss that steering lock sound, lol. Nice I'll never have to worry again.

What were you waiting for! would have sucked if it went out while you were waiting to instal the bypass!

I did the same to mine but I installed it the day I got mine!

Face · 11-28-2012, 10:33 PM

Tell me about it... I'd have kicked myself in the nuts if I had the solution to the problem sitting in my glove box when the lock went out.

Regardless, it's taken care of now!

LMBmikeZ · 11-28-2012, 10:48 PM

now you can start it up every time with less to fear!

Picked up my Z today after having it fixed. Rev.E I'll be pulling the fuse in the morning
